James said: “I played the role of a village boy called Ezra. He is a hunter who sets traps around the forest to catch wild animals to feed his village. Upon going to check one of his traps, Ezra stumbles upon an injured Captain James and Georgie Lane, played by Michelle Keegan. Ezra helps them escape the jungle and the bandits that are pursuing them."

“The whole experience has been exciting and life changing. Prior to this, I had never been abroad alone, so I had to learn a lot of new life skills on my own,” said James.

James is now looking to the future and has his sights set on a career in acting.

“I hope this experience will open many more doors for me and the people around me. My next goal is to finish university and then go on to conquer the world of acting!” said James.

“One day I aspire to make it to Hollywood just so I can show the world that hard work and dedication pays off, no matter where you come from."

“I grew up in South London and many of my peers have fallen into gangs, died or gone to prison. I hope to inspire others to do better and to show them that there is so much more to life.”
