Thought you knew everything about the scandalous case of Theranos’s polarizing founder and CEO, Elizabeth Holmes? A24 dropped a full, unfiltered look at her in the days leading up to her 11-year prison sentence, and it’s now available for everyone to watch. Directed and produced by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim (who also directed A24’s How to Catch a Predator-inspired flick, Primetime), You Can See Everything depicts Holmes’s home and family life before she officially surrendered to federal prison in 2023.
The thought of spending 24 hours with Holmes is chill-inducing—and Nathan managed to do so for nearly a month. Here’s your full guide to A24’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary, You Can See Everything. A24’s Elizabeth Holmes doc was released in theaters nationwide starting Friday, October 16.
Nathan Fielder stayed in Elizabeth Holmes’ home for a little over a month before she started her 11-year prison sentence to capture and surveil her day-to-day life. Elizabeth Holmes officially began her prison sentence on May 30, 2023, and the film’s marketing materials claim Nathan, Lance, and their crews stayed with her for 34 days leading up to her imprisonment. If the math is mathing, that means they likely started filming in her home on May 6, 2023.
And, according to the synopsis above, the doc “becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss,” so…there’s probably some virtual footage or phone calls included, since the Federal Bureau of Prisons bans private. If that’s the case, filming probably doesn’t fly, either. After the film’s teaser trailer went viral, A24 dropped a full-length trailer on September 23.
Elizabeth Holmes, the founder and CEO of the failed blood-testing company Theranos, was on top of the world before she was indicted in June 2018. After prosecutors accused her of lying to investors about what Theranos’ technology could actually do, Holmes was charged with nine counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. She was found guilty of defrauding investors in 2022 and sentenced to 11 years and three months in federal prison, per the Department of Justice.
She began serving her federal prison sentence in May 2023 and is still there. Per ABC News, she’s scheduled to be placed in a halfway house at the Austin Transitional Center in Del Valle, Texas, on August 23, 2027. Her case became one of Silicon Valley’s most infamous fraud scandals and has inspired books, TV projects, and documentaries like The Dropout and You Can See Everything.
