I'm not analyzing. I asked a question, which I'll rephrase to be less vulgar:

Do you think Mahoney's film, which you linked above in this thread, makes a credible case that children were systematically abused at Haut de la Garenne, and this was covered up by local officials?

Here's a link to that video, for anyone who is interested:

On the contrary, "this crap" is definitely an analysis.

I appreciated the film as a child abuse survivor's emotional journey into the weirdness of the kind of insitutionalized child abuse that he grew up with.

FYI I've started a separate thread on barrister Barbara Hewson's comments about the "persecution of old men" and her advocacy of 13 as the UK age of consent, the end of anonymity for alleged sex abuse victims and a statute of limitations.
