Nathan Fielder's You Can See Everything gazes into the abyss of Elizabeth Holmes
Nathan Fielder's new documentary project, 'You Can See Everything,' explores the life of Elizabeth Holmes in the lead-up to her prison sentence. The film uses unconventional techniques to examine the unknowable nature of human behavior rather than providing a traditional biographical account.
Why it matters
It challenges the boundaries of the documentary genre and how media portrays high-profile figures involved in corporate fraud.
Because when you've seen him use his television show Nathan for You to pivot an average interview into a man chuckling over the merits of drinking his own grandson's pee , or transform a Harry Houdini-style handcuff trick into escaping becoming a registered sex offender , your expectations around the final product this time around may be a bit more informed.
That said, it's still hard to prep even the most diehard aficionado fans of that show on what they have waiting for them here, as Fielder moves in with Holmes and her partner, Billy Evans, in the weeks leading up to her starting her 11-year sentence for defrauding investors with her company's non-functioning blood testing device.
