cane toads: the conquest

Cane Toads: The Conquest explores one of Australia’s greatest environmental
catastrophes as it follows the unstoppable march of the cane toad across the
Australian continent. Despised by many, venerated by some, the toad has
occupied a nation’s consciousness achieving both cult and criminal status. Despite
its international origin the cane toad has become uniquely Australian – yet, for a
world wrestling with the idea that we have irretrievably altered our own
ecosystem, its story holds universal relevance. Featuring a host of engaging

characters as well as thousands of toads, this film is a humorous yet
thought-provoking journey into the issue of invasive species. Definition Episodes
