A powerful voice adds weight to a subject. So, when Oscar-winning actor Tilda Swinton—a vocal advocate for the environment—came on board to narrate the documentary, Some Thoughts on the Common Toad, based on George Orwell’s writing by the same name, it garnered more credibility. The documentary, directed by G Anthony Svatek, will make its première at the All Living Things Environmental Film Festival (ALT EFF) 2024. Celebrating one of nature’s most overlooked creatures, the film blends thoughtful narration with striking visuals, providing audiences with an immersive look into the life and significance of the common toad.
