INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY SETS MAY PREMIERE DATE FOR "WE ARE JENI," A POWERFUL STORY OF SURVIVAL AND AN EPIC FIGHT FOR JUSTICE

(New York, NY) - Today, Investigation Discovery, the leader in true crime programming, revealed a first look and announced a premiere date for WE ARE JENI, a new 2-hour documentary special that follows the remarkable true story of an Australian woman, Jeni Haynes, who created more than 2,500 identities to confront a lifetime of unimaginable abuse at the hands of her father and bring him to justice. WE ARE JENI premieres on Thursday, May 7 from 9-11PM ET/PT on ID and will be available to stream on HBO Max.

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. Featuring uniquely created animation sequences to communicate Jeni's and her alters' stories, WE ARE JENI is a powerful and thought-provoking look inside a case that shocked the world. In addition, WE ARE JENI features access to detectives, a psychiatrist and journalist who believed Jeni and stood by her side in her relentless fight to put her father behind bars.

WE ARE JENI is co-produced for Investigation Discovery by Arrow Media (a Fremantle company) and Smith & Nasht.
