A previously unannounced documentary about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, made secretly by comedian Nathan Fielder and filmmaker Lance Oppenheim, premiered at the Telluride Film Festival over the weekend, renewing public interest in Holmes’s case and her current status behind bars.

What Happened?

The documentary, titled “You Can See Everything,” debuted at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado, surprising festivalgoers who did not know what would be shown at the event’s marquee screening. According to A24, which is distributing the nearly three-hour film, it follows Holmes during the 34 days before she reported to federal prison in 2023, describing the project as “an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon” that becomes “a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss.”

Latest Update

The film is set for a theatrical release in October via A24. It was directed by Nathan Fielder, known for the comedy series “The Rehearsal” and “Nathan For You,” alongside filmmaker Lance Oppenheim, and reportedly took around three years to make. Holmes herself invited the film crew to document her in the lead-up to her prison sentence.

Why Is Elizabeth Holmes Trending?

Interest has spiked because the documentary’s existence was kept secret until its surprise festival debut, generating significant buzz in the film world, and because it coincides with continued public interest in Holmes’s Theranos fraud case and her ongoing incarceration.

The Theranos Case

Elizabeth Holmes founded the blood-testing startup Theranos and was once considered a Silicon Valley wunderkind, with the company valued at billions of dollars at its peak. Following a Wall Street Journal investigation and whistleblower accounts that exposed inaccuracies in Theranos’s testing technology, Holmes was tried and convicted in January 2022 on four counts of fraud for misleading investors. She began serving her sentence in May 2023. In March 2026, a federal judge reduced her original 135-month sentence to 123 months, though the conviction itself was not overturned. As of this writing, Holmes remains in federal custody, and a clemency petition she filed remains unresolved.

What Happens Next?

“You Can See Everything” is expected to reach wider theatrical audiences in October, following its festival premiere. Meanwhile, Holmes’s legal situation continues to be watched closely, particularly the status of her outstanding clemency request.
