A secret new Elizabeth Holmes documentary stuns Telluride | TechCrunch

A highly confidential film premiere at the Telluride Film Festival recently astonished attendees with the surprise debut of a new documentary focusing on Elizabeth Holmes, the controversial founder of Theranos.

Co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, the film, titled "You Can See Everything," offers an intimate look at Holmes and her husband, Billy Evans, in the final thirty-four days before she began her eleven-year prison sentence in May 2023. Audience members entered the theater with their mobile phones locked away, completely unaware of the documentary's subject matter until the screening started. The film's creators, who were present in the audience, managed to maintain absolute secrecy around the project prior to its sudden unveiling. Fielder reportedly spent an extended period living in the couple's guest house during production, securing rare access that is complemented by the participation of a well-known Hollywood actress who plays a role in the unfolding narrative.

This behind-the-scenes look arrives as Holmes continues to navigate her long-running legal battle following her conviction for defrauding investors. After federal courts rejected her appeals to overturn her conviction and reduce her sentence last year, she initiated a separate bid for clemency by petitioning President Donald Trump to commute her sentence. This administrative request is currently marked as pending and remains under active official review. The upcoming documentary, which is scheduled for a wider public release by distribution company A24 in October, promises to reignite public interest and debate surrounding the spectacular collapse of her blood-testing startup and its aftermath.
