What happens

Wangeniafiskeri er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1973 instrueret af Svend Aage Lorentz efter eget manuskript. I den demokratiske republik Zaire (tidl Congo) bor wangenia-folket ved Tshopo-faldene (tidl. Stanley-faldene). Ved fiskeri i floden udnytter de forskellene mellem lav og høj vandstand til en slags rusefiskeri fra stilladser bygget ude i vandet (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
