Secret Elizabeth Holmes documentary premieres at Telluride

A secret documentary about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes premiered Sunday night at the Telluride Film Festival. Festivalgoers entered a 650-seat theater with their phones locked away and were told only that the film ran nearly three hours, had not been shown anywhere, and that its principal creators would attend.

Called You Can See Everything, the film was co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. It follows Holmes and her husband, Billy Evans, during the 34 days before Holmes reported to federal prison in May 2023 to begin an 11-year sentence for defrauding investors over her blood-testing technology.

Holmes’s appeals to overturn her conviction and shorten her sentence were rejected in February of last year. She later asked President Trump to commute her sentence. The clemency petition remains listed as pending, meaning it has been opened and is still under review.

Fielder apparently lived in the couple’s guest house during filming. The film’s publicity also points to an A-list actress who becomes part of the story. A24 is set to release You Can See Everything in October.
