Storyline
Fisheries expert Alfred Jones receives an email from financial adviser Harriet Chetwode-Talbot, seeking advice on a project to bring salmon fishing to the Yemen—a project being bankrolled by a wealthy Yemeni sheikh and supported by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Alfred dismisses the project as ‘fundamentally unfeasible’ because Yemen cannot provide the necessary environment for salmon.

“It was really important to me that people would experience the same feelings from the movie as they did from the book.”
