Synopsis

Twenty-five years after his successful film about Australia’s greatest environmental catastrophe, Mark Lewis revisits the cane toad as it continues its indefatigable journey across Australia. Despite unprecedented scientific capabilities – and unabated public determination to halt the invasion, it seems nothing will stop its march. Using stylised 3D cinematography, Mark Lewis complements the film’s environmental theme with engaging characters and his own trademark irreverence and humour. Official selection 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
