"Darius Goes West" presented by Wheeler Film Society. Darius
Weems, a 15-year-old with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, had never left
his hometown of Athens, Georgia. In the summer of 2005, he and a group
of young college students traveled across the country in a
wheelchair-accessible RV to test accessibility in America. Their
ultimate goal was to reach Los Angeles and convince MTV's hit show
"Pimp My Ride," to customize Darius's wheelchair. Along the way, they
found joy, brotherhood, and the knowledge that life, even when
imperfect, is always worth the ride. Cost: $9. 7:30 p.m. at the Wheeler
Opera House in Aspen. 920-5770.
