When Britain's leading fisheries expert is approached by a consultant to help realize a sheikh's vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert, he immediately thinks the project is both absurd and unachievable. But when the Prime Minister's overzealous press secretary latches on to it as a "good will" story, 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.

  • Catherine J. - Rated it 5 out of 5

    This may be my new most favorite movie EVER!! It is funny, poignant, engaging and ultimately uplifting. There is never a dull moment, you will laugh out loud frequently and the beautiful landscapes will take your breath away. It clearly appealed to men and women in the audience equally. The theatre was full for our Saturday evening viewing and there was a robust round of applause at the end of the movie. This film had the same feel as The King' Speech and if you enjoyed that movie then this one is a must see.
  • Kristy M. - Rated it 4 out of 5

    This was a refreshing delightful film. Full of humour, love and contraversy, it provides a hopeful outlook towards peace between two countries. A great movie for anyone to enjoy!
