-I found it shocking that he doesn’t cry. Even at the toughest parts of his life. He is a very strong person. A normal person would probably sit around the house all day But Darius takes it to the next level and travels the country! Just to get his wheelchair pimped. He even was fine right after they rejected him. He follows the rule what goes around comes around….Karma. That’s what brought his wheelchair at the end.
- I loved the movie for a lot of reasons. My favorite part was when the crew bet him he could eat Wasabi. And he kept calling it Glasabi. I liked how they treating him. Like he was just another one of his bros. It kind of follows the Golden Rule. And you should treat everyone that way. Just because someone has a problem that doesn’t mean you have to treat them like dirt.
- Muscular Dystrophy is a disease that makes your muscles decay. They can find it when the child reaches maybe 2-5. This disease has a zero percentage for survival rate. It happens in boys mostly. There is is not a cure for this. This disease can put you in a wheelchair by the age of ten. And you die in your late 20′s.

~The most shocking part is whe we know that we is about to die and we wacth this brother die . But he was always happy .If I Had DMD I will be selfish just sit there and wait to die.But watching this moive it change my opinon . But there is no doubt that he is going to cry over that .But one day you will die and as drake the motto is yolo [ you once live once ] . He said you should will to the fullest that Darius ,DGW know about it .
~I like this moive cause darius is really going west so that why Ilike it cause he is a man of his words .You should not have exuseds that in a wheel chair so you can not do nothing. But my favorite was it when we was rapping.He was really good .He Had postive karma,he help people with it and cure it.
~ The survial rate is 0% [zero] so you will die of it , you have no change of nothing stay alive.the gender most get dmd is males . you will start after 6.

The most shocking part of DGW was he got his wheel chair pimped out but not by pimp my ride. there is a 0% rate that mean nobody is making money for a cure and u will die. Mostly boys have it but some girls have it. we love darius an we hope theres a cure.

1: That even when the output of there activity wasn’t as good as it could be he still was happy, positive and always had a smile on his face.
2: My favorite part was when he when to the car dealer and they finally showed him his new wheelchair.
3:The survival rate of Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is 0%. Males are most likely to have it. The ages are 20-24.
