Passable production, wrong species of fish

This is my review of the film, any comments?

"I've used IMDb extensively in the past, but this is the first time I've
been motivated to write a review.

Before watching the film I read the book. Whilst the film omits some of
the more of the more ridiculous aspects of the plot line included in
the book, I have to say both pieces of work annoyed me intensely by the
absence of environmental awareness, credibility and sensitivity.

The central premise is that the creation of a dam on a mountain river
in the Yemen might create a suitable environment for Atlantic salmon.
This is absurd on several levels.

Firstly, the film purports that in order to translocate salmon stocks
it is necessary to transfer live grilse. It isn't. The sensible way to
do it, as our Victorian ancesters ably demonstrated, is to transfer the
spawn.

Secondly, the catchment depicted would be far more suitable to support
another equally sought after sportfish: mahseer. If only the plot line
had centred around mahseer rather than Atlantic salmon then it would
have made for a far more believable and interesting story. This should
have been an Indian production rather than a British production.

As a keen fisherman I feel that one of the more distasteful legacies of
the British Empire was the translocation of trout and Atlantic salmon
stocks from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere,
including large tracts of Africa, India, Australia, New Zealand, the
Falklands and South America; often with disastrous consequences for
indigenous fish stocks. All this plot line does is promote an outdated
imperial notion that such behaviour is acceptable and desirable. No
attempt is made to address the potential damage that such a project
would entail.

The film does have some redeeming qualities; the cynical abuse of
political power has a ring of truth, and the acting and direction is
generally passable. For this reason the film will doubtless be of
interest to non fishermen, and those who don't give a **** about the
environment. But the whole production is undermined by a plot line
which is fundamentally flawed.

This film was supposed to be a 'feelgood movie'. But it didn't make me
feel good. It just me ashamed of the legacy of the British Empire."
