His foster mother subsequently set up a children's home, and James helped out while training to be an actor, but found it difficult. Reception Stephen Bourne in his 2001 book Black in the British Frame: The Black Experience in British Film and Television said, "Storm Damage proved to be the best film or television drama written about the displacement and alienation of Britain's black working-class youth since Horace Ové's film Pressure."
