Story about a failed attempt at setting up a satellite dish in remote Malian village of Teberemt deep in the Sahel region. How a bunch of local young guns and a toubab had a go at setting it up in a place without electricity nor with a help from anybody having at least a slightest clue about setting such a dish up. Drying up emergency car battery along the way to failing miserably.
