Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Movie info

Stuffy government fisheries scientist Fred is asked by a fishing-obsessed Arab sheik to do the seemingly impossible - introduce British salmon to the wadis of the Yemen. Despite considerable trepidation, Fred is finally won over by the charismatic Arab, who reveals that fishing brings him closer to God, and he hopes it will have the same effect on his countrymen. Fred also begins to fall for the sheik's beautiful legal representative Harriet; and so he rises to the sheik's eccentric challenge, casting off his English reserve on a transformative journey of self-discovery and late-blooming love.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is a charming British movie based on the extreme improbability of introducing salmon to the hot, dusty land of Yemen. Read More

It's always so refreshing to see a great film that's not cast in the Hollywood mould. If you like Brit movies you must see this. It oozes character, charm and it's very funny too. Loved it!
