Salmon Fishing in Yemen is a delightful story of hope and perseverance. When Britain’s leading fisheries expert is approached by a consultant to help realize a sheikh’s vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert, he immediately thinks the project is both absurd and unachievable. But when the Prime Minister’s overzealous press secretary latches on to it as a “good will” story, this unlikely team will put it all on the line and embark on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible, possible.
Salmon Fishing in Yemen (2012), a feature film, is rated PG-13 (some violence and sexual content, brief language) and is 86 minutes long. It is in English and Arabic with English Subtitles and is sponsored by Bob and Carrie Berg.
