Abstract
As audience members make sense of media texts, they construct interpretations based on their individual perspectives. The film Crash portrays many instances that allowed for sustained audience discourse about culture and ethnicity, gender, and race and racism. The author analyses audiences' reactions to and interpretations of the 2005 Academy Award winning film.
