Nathan Fielder is all set to tell Elizabeth Holmes’ story with an upcoming documentary, You Can See Everything. What is so different about this film? It will not be made in the usual format; rather, it will feature a Q&A between Fielder and Holmes, while an unnamed A-list actress reenacts the events of the documentary in asides as Holmes. While many details about the film have been kept under wraps, here’s everything we know about You Can See Everything so far.
You Can See Everything – Synopsis
The official synopsis of the film reads, “34 days before she’s sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move. What begins as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon becomes a mind-bending three-year journey
into the abyss. From boundary-pushing directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim comes You Can See Everything.”
Who was Holmes? What is the film’s story?
Elizabeth Holmes is an American former entrepreneur who became famous for founding Theranos, a blood-testing startup that claimed it could perform many medical tests using just a few drops of blood.
In 2003, she founded Theranos, inviting global attention, with investors from across the world showing interest, making Holmes one of the world’s youngest female self-made billionaires on paper.
While this looked good, the problem was that Theranos’ technology was not delivering what it promised. It was claimed that the company used other methods for testing, misleading investors, business partners, and patients about the capabilities of its technology.
Holmes was eventually charged with fraud. In 2022, she was convicted of four counts of fraud related to investors. She was sentenced to 11 years and 3 months in prison and began serving her sentence in 2023.
When is the documentary releasing?
While there has been no confirmation about the film’s release date, the documentary is set to release in October. Audiences have been buzzing with excitement as the movie premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on September 6, with rave reviews from several international publications coming in.
Film’s cast
In addition to Fielder and Holmes, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that an unnamed A-list actress played an important role in making the film.
What assets of the film can we watch?
The first official trailer for the documentary was released on September 8, which showed Fielder and Holmes having an unsettling conversation with each other. In the trailer, Holmes is seen saying, “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…there’s no reason for me to do that.”
“You’re being real right now?” he asks her, to which Holmes replies, “I’m always being real.”
