Salmon Fishing in the Yemen brings a political-spinning drama about Fred, a government fisheries scientist asked to introduce British salmon to the Wadis of the Temen by an enthusiastic Arab. When the Sheik expresses how fly-fishing draws him closer to God, Fred feels compelled to grant his wish and attempts to bring the sport to the desert, despite the absurdity and implausibility of the concept. Enticed by the Sheik’s gorgeous legal representative, the team rise to the challenge, embarking on a journey of faith, love and fish.
