The CRAZY TOADS



The crazy toad revolves around the idea that the survival of the species depends on a change of behavior. The crazy toads go in the tunnel built by ecologists under the roads built by other humans where most of the toads die when crossing them. For some reason, they do things differently and invent new future ways and save their species this way. The crazy toad Manifesto is a collective work, led by Thanh Nghiem,, Cedric Viallni and 34 people with different ages, backgournds and personalities.
