Story summary

Nathan Fielder, a comedian, has released a documentary titled "You Can See Everything" which features Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced former CEO of Theranos. The film, produced by A24 and unveiled earlier this year during the festival circuit, gained significant attention for its unique approach. Fielder spent three years developing the documentary and had 34 days of unfettered access to Holmes leading up to her sentencing in 2023, when she was given an 11-year prison term for defrauding investors.

Holmes rose to fame in the mid-2010s as the face of Theranos, a company that claimed to have developed revolutionary blood-testing technology. However, investigative reporting by The Wall Street Journal exposed fraud and mismanagement at Theranos, leading to Holmes' conviction in 2022 for her role in defrauding investors. The documentary offers an unprecedented look into the final days of Holmes’ freedom before she began serving her sentence, providing a unique narrative that challenges typical documentary formats.
