This gripping story unfolds the events leading up to a tragic crash and explores how it deeply impacted the lives of the teenagers involved, as well as their loved ones.

When creating The Crash, which first came out in 2013, the filmmakers spoke with families who had experienced the loss of a child in a car accident. They did this to ensure the story was as authentic and impactful as possible.

Dominic Barlow, the film’s executive producer, told the BBC he aimed to make a documentary that felt authentic and immersive for BBC3 viewers, as if they were simply observing events unfold.

Above all, I wanted to avoid presenting a biased view and let the audience draw their own conclusions. The film tells a deeply disturbing story with relatable characters, and its modern music and style make the emotions – both good and bad, and the resulting pain – feel incredibly authentic.

The real heroes of this film are the families who bravely shared their personal stories with us. Their lives were forever changed by a single event, and it’s a powerful thing to consider.

Many IMDb users loved The Crash, calling it excellent, emotional, and captivating.

A reviewer gave this a perfect score, saying it should be required reading for students age 16 and up. They praised its realistic portrayal of how young people make mistakes, the consequences of those mistakes, and the ripple effect those consequences can have on families, friends, and the wider community.

Someone else agreed, praising the actors’ performances and the film’s powerful message. They expressed hope that it would encourage young drivers to be more cautious.

Another viewer shared, “The Crash was a truly outstanding show. It’s the most emotionally powerful and gripping drama I’ve ever seen.”
