We Are Jeni

From a young age, Jeni endured years of sexual abuse from her father and struggled to find anyone to believe her. In response, she developed Dissociative Identity Disorder and created an army of over 2,500 alternate personalities, known as 'alters', to protect her. In 2019, at the age of 49, Jeni was finally able to seek justice in a landmark, first of its kind legal case anywhere in the world. In a courthouse in Sydney, Australia, Jeni and her alters testified to years of physical and psychological torture. WE ARE JENI delves into Jeni's story of survival and her fight to be believed, featuring access to Jeni and her alters, as they share their first-hand accounts of the emotional journey that led to Jeni's father being convicted and sentenced to 45 years in jail by an Australian court. Over the course of two hours, WE ARE JENI captures Jeni's story, and the perspectives of her alters. It reframes how dissociative identity disorder is understood, underscoring the condition as a means of survival and separating it from long-held stigmas.
