Elizabeth Holmes, the former founder of the beleaguered health technology company Theranos, has re-entered public consciousness with the release of a new documentary entitled *You Can See Everything*. Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, the film chronicles the final days of Holmes’ liberty before she began serving her prison sentence in May 2023.

Holmes, who earned notoriety after being convicted of defrauding investors, is currently serving an 11-year sentence at the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas. She was found guilty of multiple counts of fraud in January 2022, with her sentencing taking place later that year. The new documentary offers an intimate portrayal of her life during the 34 days leading up to her incarceration.
The film debuted at the esteemed Telluride Film Festival in September 2026, marking the first time Holmes has participated in a documentary about her life since her conviction. Following her historic downfall, Holmes has been the focus of various portrayals, including the 2019 documentary *The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley* and Hulu’s 2022 series *The Dropout*, which starred Amanda Seyfried in the lead role.
*You Can See Everything* offers a detailed glimpse into Holmes’ behaviour at home, presenting what the filmmakers describe as “a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss.” The film documents her daily life and thoughts as she comes to terms with her impending prison term while raising two young children—sons William and daughter Invicta—she welcomed with her partner, Billy Evans.
The filmmakers also managed to capture Holmes’ experiences while incarcerated. In a previous interview, she commented on her prison life, expressing the psychological turmoil she faces: “It’s surreal… People who have never met me believe so strongly about me. They don’t understand who I am.” According to Holmes, her time spent in prison has caused her to scrutinise the fabric of truth and belief.
During the documentary’s unveiling, a teaser trailer was released, showcasing interactions between Fielder and Holmes at her home in San Diego. In one part of the clip, Holmes asserts her authenticity, questioningly asking, “Why would I deceive you? There’s no reason for me to do that.” Fielder’s response, “You’re being real right now?” adds a layer of tension to the conversation, hinting at the complexities of Holmes’ persona.
As the premiere date approaches, intrigue surrounding *You Can See Everything* continues to grow. The documentary will be available in cinemas from 16 October 2026, promising audiences an unprecedented perspective on a figure that has fascinated and flabbergasted the public.
Holmes is expected to be released early, on 30 December 2031, taking into account her good behaviour while incarcerated. However, the ramifications of her actions with Theranos and the media attention surrounding her fall from grace will likely linger long after her release.
*You Can See Everything* will not only highlight Holmes’ domestic life but also serve as a reflection on accountability and the consequences of ambition gone awry. As public interest in her story persists, this latest endeavour in capturing her saga reiterates how complex and multifaceted the narrative surrounding Elizabeth Holmes remains.
