Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (12A)

Monday 21 May - 10.30am & 7.30pm; Tuesday 22 May - 7.30pm

When Britain's leading fisheries expert (Ewan McGregor) is approached by a consultant (Emily Blunt) to help realise a sheikh's vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert, he thinks the project is absurd.

But when the Prime Minister's overzealous press secretary (Kristin Scott Thomas) latches on to the idea as a much needed good news story, the unlikely team embark on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible, possible. 

Adapted by Simon Beaufoy, from Paul Torday's acclaimed novel.

Directed by Lasse Halström, 1hr 47mins
