One woman. 2500 personalities. Their fight for justice.

WE ARE JENI reveals one of the most extraordinary criminal cases in Australian history. Dr Jeni Haynes mind fractured into 2,500 personalities to survive her childhood. It will take her 40 years to be believed and find justice. This is the story of how she, and her army of alters, were finally heard.

We Are Jeni is a mind-bending, emotionally charged documentary that follows one woman’s extraordinary psychological journey to be believed. Stranger than fiction, yet undeniably true.

At the heart of Jeni’s story is a question that reverberates far beyond the courtroom:

What does it take to be believed?

We Are Jeni is an uplifting story of triumph against extreme odds, and the power of the human mind to protect and survive. Today Jeni is paving a new life, discovering just who ‘they’ are now that her father is behind bars.
