Here is the trailer for the movie "Crash". Crash takes place in Los Angeles and deals with racism within the city. The idea in the movie is that all of these people, of different cultures and ethnicities and backgrounds, constantly collide with each other. The rich white couple in the movie live in a big house a little bit further from the city, and its the Latino and the immigrant shop owner who live within the city. Freeways separate the city of LA, and since LA is made up of freeways going to the suburbs, all the races are segregated yet constantly "crash" into each other within the same city that they pass through every day.

What are other ways that Crash exemplifies what Avila talks about in his book?
