Crash, a crime and drama movie that was released in 2004 that highlights racial tension between white and black, specifically tension between law enforcement and civilians. The movie also tackles many other social such as gender roles. The traditionally male movies roles are usually providers and protectors; we see something a little different in this movie. In one scene a black character named Cameron is pulled over by a racist police officer. Cameron's wife is with him, and soon begins annoying the officer and refuses to comply regardless of Cameron’s request. When Cameron responds without aggression as John searches his wife, she perceives him as failing to protect her. She later accuses him of allowing her humiliation so the people he works with wouldn't "read about him in the paper and found out he’s black". In the scene at the studio where Cameron works, this seems to be a fear, as he agrees to make a scene more racially stereotypical to please the studio. Fear of job loss did factor into his failure in his protector role. However, if Cameron had become unemployed, he'd eventually fail in his provider role. So he is torn between two roles, this role strain is shown though the racial discrimination he encounters. A void occurs between him and his wife after the incident.
