Elizabeth Holmes Documentary 'You Can See Everything' Explores Her Narrative and Media Portrayal
A new documentary titled 'You Can See Everything,' co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, scrutinizes Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, focusing on her current self-presentation rather than a rehash of her rise and fall. The film began shooting in 2023, 34 days before Holmes was scheduled to begin an 11-year prison sentence for fraud. It explores Holmes's account of herself, the stories she tells, and how the filmmakers are implicated in their telling. The documentary features Holmes and her partner, Billy Evans, at their San Diego home with their two young children. Fielder employs various methods, including direct questioning, setting up unusual situations, and analyzing Holmes's language and image, to explore themes of objectivity, authenticity, and performance. The film also delves into Holmes's reaction to dramatizations of her story, such as 'The Dropout,' and her claim that she never told a lie.
