Dr Jeni Haynes lives with Dissociative Identity Disorder, her memories held by 2,500 alternate selves. When she seeks justice for childhood abuse, a decade-long investigation asks whether fractured testimony can be believed, or whether her condition preserved the truth needed to make legal history, with police, psychiatry and the judiciary aligned together.

00:00Jennifer, can you tell us about going back to the house?
00:05This is the most terrifying room in the universe.
00:11Jenny has a condition called dissociative identity disorder.
00:15I am Symphony and others.
00:17Hi, I'm Eric.
00:18E-R-I-K.
00:19Muscles and 2,000 names in between.
00:23We call them alters.
00:24The condition is an unbelievable one.
00:27I've got somebody sitting in front of me with the idea
00:29I know that we're dealing with some of the most heinous crimes imaginable.
00:37And somebody should be paying for that.
00:41Nobody believed me as a child.
00:44Except for the people I created to help me deal with daddy.
00:50He is the devil incarnate.
00:53And that's an insult to Satan.
00:56DID was seen as the craziest of crazy.
00:59And alters have never been successfully used by prosecution anywhere in the world.
01:04For the first time ever, they would call the alters to give evidence.
01:08Was this going to make us the laughing stock of Australia?
01:13Dad walked in and it was terrifying.
01:17Then I saw the gentleman on the noose and he said...
01:21All my experience, I've never ever come across someone who has 300 plus offenses against the one victim.
01:28And I cried.
01:31That simple sentence told me that what dad did was extreme.
01:37And I had not got it until he said those words.
01:43I've never met a person like Jenny.
01:45I don't think I ever will.
01:47She's living testimony to the genius of the human mind.
01:51This isn't just my story.
01:53This is about justice.
01:55To watch somebody rising above, it's a really beautiful thing.
02:00Jenny saved Jenny.
02:03Stay in the water.
02:03Stay in the water.
02:03So, fight against poultry.
02:09When with the impact of the soul,
02:09You guys win it.
02:09Because at those times,
02:10You've never done every journey in the Worldaz Module.
