A24 to Release Nathan Fielder Documentary on Elizabeth Holmes
The film captures the final 34 days of freedom for the disgraced Theranos founder before her prison sentence.
A24 is set to release a new documentary titled "You Can See Everything," providing a rare look at Elizabeth Holmes in the final window before her incarceration. Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, the film captures the 34 days immediately preceding Holmes' reporting to prison.
The documentary premiered as an unannounced surprise addition to the Telluride Film Festival schedule. According to A24 and industry reports, the film is now scheduled for a wide theatrical release in October 2026. The project focuses on the intimate, high-tension period leading up to the start of Holmes' 11-year sentence.
The Theranos Legacy
Elizabeth Holmes rose to global prominence as the founder of Theranos, a health technology startup that claimed to have revolutionized blood testing by requiring only a few drops of blood from a finger prick. The company reached a multi-billion dollar valuation based on these claims, positioning Holmes as a visionary in the Silicon Valley ecosystem. However, the technology was later revealed to be a massive fraud, as the company could not actually perform the tests it promised. This collapse led to Holmes being convicted of defrauding investors and receiving a sentence of over 11 years in prison.
Why the Film Matters
The anticipation surrounding "You Can See Everything" stems largely from the involvement of Nathan Fielder, a filmmaker known for his subversive, awkward, and highly structured comedic style. The prospect of Fielder applying his specific lens to a figure as polarizing as Holmes creates a unique tension between documentary realism and psychological exploration. Furthermore, the access granted by Holmes during her final 34 days of freedom is exceptionally rare, offering a potential window into the psyche of one of the most notorious corporate fraudsters in recent history. In one instance, Holmes claimed regarding her interaction with Fielder, "I have nothing to deceive him about... I'm always being real."
What to Watch
As the October 2026 release approaches, industry analysts will be watching to see if the film provides new factual insights into the Theranos scandal or if it functions more as a character study of Holmes herself. While the timeline of the filming is confirmed, the full extent of the revelations contained within the footage remains under wraps following its surprise festival debut.
