Nathan Fielder's Documentary on Elizabeth Holmes Premieres
Nathan Fielder's documentary film, following Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes before her prison sentence, was unexpectedly unveiled at the Telluride Film Festival. The film offers an intimate look at Holmes' life.
Comedian Nathan Fielder's documentary film about Elizabeth Holmes, kept under wraps for a significant period, was revealed for the first time at the Telluride Film Festival. The film, titled ‘You Can See Everything’, has been in production for three years and provides a unique and intimate look into the life of the entrepreneur at the center of the Theranos scandal, both before and after her prison sentence.
Fielder, also known for his series ‘Nathan for You’ and ‘The Rehearsal’, secured unusual access to Holmes. The film chronicles how he managed to enter Holmes's life and document her leading up to the significant legal proceedings and subsequent conviction. The audience in Telluride expressed surprise upon seeing the film, which had not been previously announced.
‘You Can See Everything’ centers on Holmes's narrative, who rapidly emerged as one of the tech industry's most talked-about figures after founding Theranos. The company claimed to revolutionize blood diagnostics but was later exposed as a large-scale fraud, misleading investors with faulty technology and falsified results. Holmes was ultimately convicted of fraud and conspiracy.
The documentary aims to offer a perspective through Holmes's eyes, exploring her motivations and experiences amidst the scandal, as well as her preparation for incarceration. The film is expected to shed new light on one of the tech industry's most significant and damaging scandals.
