Elizabeth Holmes' greatest invention: 'Elizabeth Holmes'
Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes is the subject of a new documentary by Nathan Fielder titled 'You Can See Everything,' which explores her persona and recent life. The film, which features unusual access to Holmes, premiered at the Telluride Film Festival.
Why it matters
The documentary highlights the ongoing public fascination with Holmes and the blurred lines between reality and performance in Silicon Valley culture.

That may be true for everyone but Elizabeth Holmes , who reintroduced herself this weekend in a preview for a new documentary from Nathan Fielder, called "You Can See Everything." The teaser features 45 seconds of the Theranos founder in tight focus, her eyes as big as Jupiter, where she assures Fielder: "I'm always being real." This brief interaction is so unnerving and so reminiscent of a horror film that even with scant details, the documentary is already the talk of tech town. "You Can See Everything" debuted in a secret screening on Sunday at the Telluride Film Festival, and will be released theatrically in October. It was filmed in 2023, in the weeks before Holmes went to prison for defrauding the investors of her infamous startup.
