Cane Toads: An Unnatural History is a specialized scientific documentary focused on an environmental crisis. Because the subject matter is strictly biological and ecological, it operates outside the parameters of social identity politics. The film lacks a human-centric cast or character-driven narrative, resulting in a lack of characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity. The low score reflects the narrow, non-social focus of the work rather than an active promotion of social hierarchies. Ultimately, the documentary prioritizes documenting an invasive species over social commentary or diverse human perspectives.
