A new documentary puts the spotlight on Elizabeth Holmes, the convicted founder of Theranos, in her final weeks before heading to prison. The film, titled “You Can See Everything,” comes from Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim and will be released by A24 this fall.
What the Documentary Covers
According to a synopsis on A24’s website, the film follows Holmes during a remarkable 34-day window before she begins her prison sentence.
“Thirty-four days before she’s sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move,” the description reads.
The description goes on to describe how the project evolved over time.
“What begins as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss.”
The film is set to hit theaters in October.
A Conversation with Holmes
A promotional clip shared on social media features Fielder sitting down with Holmes for what appears to be a candid conversation. Holmes defends her authenticity throughout the exchange.
“I’m not that person. I can promise you that. I don’t have anything to deceive you on, of course I’m not deceiving you. I’m engaging with you as a human being. Why would I deceive you? There’s no reason for me to do that,” Holmes says in the clip.
Fielder’s dry response captures the awkward tone of the exchange.
“OK. Alright. OK, good chat,” Fielder replies.
When Fielder presses her further, Holmes stands firm.
“You’re being real right now?” Fielder asks.
“I’m always being real,” Holmes responds.
Holmes later shared the trailer on her X account, where messages are noted as “mostly my words, posted by others,” with the caption: “I’m always being real.”
Background on Holmes and the Creative Team
Holmes was found guilty of fraud in 2022 and began serving her more than 11-year sentence in 2023. She founded Theranos, a blood-testing startup that became one of the most infamous failures in Silicon Valley history.
Fielder rose to fame through “Nathan For You,” a Comedy Central series where he used deadpan humor to help struggling small businesses with unconventional strategies. He followed that up with “The Rehearsal,” a docu-comedy series in which he recreates real-life scenarios to help people prepare for challenging situations.
Oppenheim, meanwhile, directed “Primetime,” a film starring Robert Pattinson as “To Catch a Predator” host Chris Hansen, which hits theaters later this month.
