In 1989 Darius joined ARK, an organization founded by prominent environmentalists, film makers and recording artists that included Chrissie Hynde, Sir Paul McCartney, Sting and Peter Gabriel.

Darius developed and co-ordinated special events and film and video projects for ARK that combined his passion both for film making and positive social change including "One World One Voice" that was broadcast to over 2 billion people.
