A new documentary titled *You Can See Everything*, which delves into the life of Elizabeth Holmes, the former CEO of Theranos, is set for release next month. Holmes is currently serving an 11-year prison sentence after being found guilty of fraud related to her now-defunct healthcare startup. The film, produced by A24, features never-before-seen footage of Holmes, including an interview conducted just weeks prior to her incarceration.

The documentary had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival on 6 September, where audiences got a first glimpse of the revelations that Holmes shares with filmmaker Nathan Fielder. In a brief trailer that debuted on the same day, Holmes is shown discussing her personal life and her tumultuous journey in the tech industry while sitting in her home.
“I’m always being real,” Holmes claims during her conversation with Fielder. She attempts to assure him of her honesty as she further elaborates, “I don’t have anything to deceive you on, of course I’m not deceiving you.” This level of candour comes even as she faces the consequences of her actions, which have been widely portrayed in both documentaries and dramatized productions.
The trailer also hints at Holmes’ maternal side; it reveals her sitting with her baby in a bouncer while she engages with Fielder. Holmes gave birth to her second child, a daughter named Invicta, shortly after she was convicted of fraud. This aspect of her life seems to juxtapose her criminal conviction, offering a complex portrait of a woman navigating significant personal and legal turmoil.
*You Can See Everything* promises to be much more than a commentary on Holmes’s downfall. The synopsis suggests that the documentary begins as an intimate reflection of the life of a controversial figure, eventually morphing into a profound, multi-year exploration of her experiences, as captured by boundary-pushing directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim.
In his commentary following the screening, Fielder expressed curiosity about the film’s reception. “What I am really excited about is for you to see the movie and tell me what I experienced,” he remarked during a Q&A session, reflecting on the perplexity that surrounded his involvement in the documentary.
Holmes’s dramatic rise and fall have previously been depicted in various media formats, including the 2022 miniseries *The Dropout*, starring Amanda Seyfried, a portrayal that Holmes has admitted to finding challenging to watch. The ongoing narrative of her life continues to intrigue both the public and the media, drawing attention to the broader questions of accountability and ethics in the tech industry.
Now, nearly three years into her prison sentence, Holmes remains adamant about her innocence. She describes her experiences behind bars as “surreal” and contends that the opinions held about her by those who do not know her have been profoundly misinformed. In a recent interview, she shared that being away from her children has been an emotional struggle, stating, “It shatters my world.”
As she serves her sentence at Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas, Holmes reflects on her situation with a sense of bewilderment. “I am walking by faith and, ultimately, the truth,” she expressed, while also acknowledging the psychological toll her imprisonment has taken on her.
With a scheduled release date of 30 December 2031, the upcoming documentary marks a pivotal moment in Holmes’s narrative, one that may influence public perception as it unpacks her story from her point of view. The portrayal of her life through the lens of *You Can See Everything* is sure to provoke discussion and further examination of her impact on the tech industry and beyond.
As the release date approaches, anticipation is building, not only for the insights this documentary promises but also for the reflections it may stir around the accountability of leaders in innovation. Holmes’s story, a cautionary tale of ambition and ethics gone awry, continues to resonate as a significant chapter in the dialogue surrounding Silicon Valley and the responsibilities that come with wielding power in the tech space.
