Sam Neill, Bryan Brown, Rachel Ward, Greta Scacchi, Jacqueline McKenzie, Heather Mitchell, Claire Van De Boom stars of the movie Palm Beach where James Ricketson has lived for most of his life. Rachel Ward, the director, says every time she goes round a corner at Palm Beach, she expects to see James in his signature sarong and big smile. The support of her cast and crew reflects the position of everyone in the film and television industry who would like to see James come home. His infraction of flying a drone over a peaceful opposition party march and the failure of our government to bring him home threatens all media and arts organisations to tell the truth. James like many was compelled purely by his instincts for social justice to tell the story of a Cambodian street family that has got him into such deep water. We hope our government will show strength and increase pressure on their counterparts in Cambodia to ensure James a fair trial and bring him home as quickly as possible.
