A24 is set to release You Can See Everything, a documentary about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. The film screened Sunday night at the Telluride Film Festival after being shot in 2023.
The project, as first reported by Engadget, includes substantial access to Holmes. That access gives Fielder and Oppenheim a direct route into one of the most closely watched fraud cases in the technology industry.
The film returns to the Theranos fraud case
Holmes founded Theranos, the blood-testing company whose claims and business practices led to fraud allegations and criminal proceedings. She received an 11-year prison sentence for defrauding the company’s investors and reported to prison before the documentary’s reported release.
The case became a lasting example of how investor enthusiasm and limited scrutiny can propel a health technology company before its underlying claims are fully tested. Theranos also put patients and medical decision-making at the center of a startup scandal, raising stakes beyond the investors who lost money.
Fielder is known for work that examines people, performance and uncomfortable social dynamics, while Oppenheim has directed nonfiction films focused on unusual institutions and individuals. Their collaboration places the Theranos story in the hands of filmmakers whose previous work often depends on close observation, though the film’s approach has not been detailed.
Holmes’s participation remains unclear
A24 has not announced a release date or said whether the feature will receive a theatrical run, streaming distribution, or both. The extent and nature of Holmes’s participation remain unspecified, as do the full production and financing details. Those answers will shape how much of the story comes from direct interviews and how much the directors build through other material.
