Name: Emily Blunt
Age: 29
Character: Harriet
Film: Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
Synopsis: Fishing expert Fred Jones (McGregor) is approached by workaholic Harriet (Blunt) with a plan to introduce salmon into the waterways of Yemen so her client - the amiable Sheikh Muhammed - can fish there.
The seemingly crazy idea attracts the attention of the British government who hijack it with a view to creating a positive story about the Middle East.
Despite Fred’s protests he soon finds himself working on a project that seems not only frivolous but absolutely unfeasible in the arid land of Yemen.
His scepticism is matched only by the sheikh’s boundless optimism. As the bizarre mission begins, they soon find that hope can spring - even in the most unexpected places!
