Synopsis

An unconventionally funny and frightening account of Australia’s present-day plague of cane toads from the mind of maverick filmmaker Mark Lewis.  Introduced 75 years ago to the local ecosystem as a predator of the destructive sugarcane beetle, the cane toad proved useless in controlling the beetle. The result is a modern day plague that serves as a warning for the unintended consequences of human interference with the environment.
