Salmon Fishing in the Yemen: A film by Lasse Hallstrom, with Emily Blunt, Ewan McGregor and Kristin Scott Thomas
From the beloved director of Chocolat and the Oscar®-winning screenwriter of Slumdog Millionairecomes the inspirational comedy Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. A visionary sheik (Amr Waked) believes his passion for the peaceful pastime of salmon fishing can enrich the lives of his people, and he dreams of bringing the sport to the not so fish-friendly desert.
Willing to spare no expense, he instructs his representative (Emily Blunt) to turn the dream into reality, an extraordinary feat that will require the involvement of Britain’s leading fisheries expert (Ewan McGregor) who happens to think the project both absurd and unachievable. That is, until the Prime Minister’s overzealous press secretary (Kristin Scott Thomas) latches on to it as a ‘good will’ story. Now, 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.
Based on the novel by Paul Torday Salmon Fishing In The Yemen premiers in Dutch cinemas on May 3rd.
