We Are Jeni on SBS and SBS on Demand – Award-winning documentary collection Australia Uncovered returns with three compelling stand-alone films that reveal remarkable Australian stories and offer fresh perspectives on the issues shaping the nation today.
We Are Jeni
We Are Jeni reveals the story behind one of the most extraordinary criminal cases in Australian history. Dr Jeni Haynes developed more than 2,500 distinct personalities as a means of surviving severe childhood trauma.
In a world-first legal precedent, her alter personalities (alters) were permitted to give evidence in court. Once dismissed as fractured, Jeni’s mind is now recognised as the very mechanism that preserved crucial evidence. This is the powerful story of how she, and her army of alters, were finally heard.
We Are Jeni on SBS and SBS on Demand – SBS Original Premiere / Sunday 7 June at 7.30pm (1 Part)
