Former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes is back in the spotlight after a “secret documentary” premiered in early September 2026 at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado. The 174-minute documentary is titled “You Can See Everything” and was co-directed by cult comedian Nathan Felder and Lance Oppenheim. A24 is the production and distribution company for the documentary.
Holmes is currently serving 11 years in a federal prison for investor fraud. Filming for the documentary took place at Holmes and her partner hotel heir Bill Evans Delmar, beachside home (a rented place in Del Mar, California [near San Diego]). The crew filmed the documentary 36 days before Holmes reported to prison in Bryan, TX.
Reviews of “You Can See Everything” point out the documentary does precious little to ask the question if Holmes thinks she is guilty or not; however, rather to understand her way of thinking.
The documentary was set to be released in October 2026.
The rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes
Holmes will not fade away in the medtech industry even though her company was shut down in 2018 and she has been incarcerated for three (3) years.
A little more than a year ago, Evans began pitching the idea of Haemanthus, a new blood-testing startup. The company said it planned to first bring its technology to veterinary medicine and then expand into human applications.
Sporting a black turtleneck, a deep monotone voice (which has been proven not to be her real voice), and the ability to not blink for insane amounts of time, Holmes captivated the world and investors with the Edison device. Her goal was to provide consumers access to cheap, fast, and high-quality diagnostic tests that used just a drop of blood from a fingerstick. The idea came from Holmes’s fear of needles.
Holmes’s star was so bright in medtech that she was made MDDI’s list of Medtech Billionaires in 2015.
However, things began to quickly unravel for the company because of claims from Executives that the technology was better than it actually was. The results were catastrophic, causing Theranos to lose a high-profile partnership with Walgreens. Things escalated even more as Walgreens sued Theranos for $140 million.
The two reportedly came to an agreement that would have Theranos pay Walgreens less than $30 million.
In what was once thought to be the end of the Theranos saga, Holmes was convicted of one (1) count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud against investors and three (3) counts of wire fraud. Her ex-lover and Theranos President and COO Sunny Balwani was found guilty of 12 felony counts of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
