SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN is an extraordinary, beguiling tale of fly-fishing and political spinning, of unexpected heroism and late-blooming love and of an attempt to prove the impossible, possible. Directed by Oscar©-nominee Lasse Hallström (CHOCOLAT, THE CIDER HOUSE RULES) from a screenplay by Oscar©-winner Simon Beaufoy (127 HOURS, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE),  the film is based on Paul Torday's acclaimed best-selling novel and stars Ewan McGregor (BEGINNERS), Emily Blunt (THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU) and Oscar©-nominee Kristen Scott Thomas (I’VE LOVED YOU SO LONG).
