Only one day of the year the Dogon people of Mali can fish in the sacred water of Lake Antogo. It's every fisherman for himself as the lake is emptied in minutes.

Isn't it too small of a body of water to be a lake? 51 It looks like they weren't very succesful (3rd pic) empty baskets, yet lots of smiles.

So it's true then, if you give a man a fish, he'll only eat for a day.

i saw it on BBC. The series named as Human Planet, started in 2011 and has only 2 parts now.
The discription dosent says that this festival take place at the last week of the dry season. The following week the rain comes, and the rivers fill the lake with fresh water and new life
