Risky Routes

Risky Routes is our award-winning short film about the perilous annual toad migration in Switzerland, where thousands of amphibians must cross roads and other hazards to return to the ponds where they were born. The film highlights this fragile natural journey with cinematic care and celebrates the resilience of these small creatures against life-threatening obstacles, turning a local wildlife story into a broader reflection on connection and survival. In 2025, Risky Routes was honored with the Grand Prize at the Bloomberg Green Docs Film Festival, a climate-focused international competition for short documentaries, bringing this humble but powerful story to a global audience.
