One of the victims of child abuse at Carmel College 40 years ago is making a film based on his experiences.


Stephen Endelman testified at the trial of Trevor Bolton, a junior housemaster at the Jewish boarding school in Oxfordshire who was jailed tfor 19 years for a string of sex offences against boys aged from 11 to 15 from 1968 to 1988.


Mr Endelman, a Los Angeles-based composer who specialises in film and TV scores, has co-written the script for a short film which he hopes will raise awareness of the legacy of abuse.


While the film is fictional, A Boy, A Man and A Kite draws on events during his own time during the mid-1970s at the college, which closed 20 years ago.
