Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Fisheries expert Alfred Jones (Ewan McGregor) receives an email from financial adviser Harriet Chetwode-Talbot to discuss a project to bring salmon fishing to Yemen, bankrolled by a wealthy Yemeni sheikh and supported by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. As Alfred delves deeper into the project, he finds himself on an upstream journey of faith, meeting the Sheikh (Amr Waked) who is passionate about introducing fly-fishing to the desert. Amidst bureaucratic hurdles, personal relationships, and danger, Alfred and Harriet grow closer as they work together to prove the impossible possible.
