Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

The Award-winning talents of film director  Lasse Hallström (Chocolat, What's Eating Gilbert Grape) and writer Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire) come together to bring us SALMON FISHING IN YEMEN, a touching story starring Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt.  Watch for the upcoming review from Catholic Online.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Grace Hill Media) - From the beloved director of Chocolat and the Oscar-winning screenwriter  of Slumdog Millionaire comes the inspirational comedy Salmon Fishing in the Yemen.  A visionary sheik (Amr Waked) has a big dream - to bring salmon fishing to the desert.  Willing to spare no expense, he instructs his representative (Emily Blunt) to turn his 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 for its potential 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.
