Lachsfischen im Jemen (2012)
Der Jemen ist nicht gerade für seine reichen Lachsgründe bekannt. Dennoch soll der britische Fischerei-Experte Dr. Fred Jones das Unmögliche möglich machen und für einen Scheich die geliebten Lachse in das jemenitische Hochland bringen. Der Preis für diesen vermeintlichen Irrsinn spielt keine Rolle. Dies mehr als merkwürdige Angebot unterbreitet ihm die kesse Harriet Chetwode-Talbot im Auftrag des Scheichs. Die kühl kalkulierende Pressesprecherin des Premierministers, Patricia Maxwell, erkennt das mediale Potential, um von den aktuellen Problemen im Nahen Osten abzulenken, und forciert das Unternehmen von höchster Stelle aus. Im Laufe der Planung, das Lachsfischen im Jemen zu etablieren, lernt Jones, welche positiven Möglichkeiten zum Wandel die Vision des Scheichs für dessen Landsleute – wie auch für ihn selbst – mit sich bringen können.
