'Unsettling' new Elizabeth Holmes documentary was being filmed in secret for over three years

Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes is back in the news, and although she's currently serving a reduced sentence of 123 months, she's turning out to be quite the chatty Cathy thanks to a new documentary that's been worked on in secret.

Once known as the world's first self-made female billionaire, things fell apart for Elizabeth Holmes when the Wall Street Journal's John Carreyrou launched an investigation into Theranos' claims that it had revolutionized the health industry with new blood-testing capabilities.

Carreyrou released Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup in 2018, and that same year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission looked further into Holmes and former Theranos chief operating officer (COO) Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani.

In the end, the pair were charged with fraud for taking $700 million from investors and advertising a false product. A federal grand jury indicted Holmes and Balwani on nine counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

As well as bonding with The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City's Jen Shah while banged up, Holmes has continued sharing her supposed words of wisdom by telling us to 'delete everything'. Holmes has also been brutally fact-checked by declaring her innocence, but in a new twist, she's continuing to try and tell her side of the story in an unexpected documentary from filmmaker Nathan Fielder.

Titled You Can See Everything, the documentary is produced and distributed by A24. Yes, that's the same A24 you'll likely know for horror movies, including Backrooms, Midsommar, and Hereditary.

A24 is also known for documentaries like the Marc Jacobs-focused Marc by Sofia, The Deepest Breath exploring free diving, and 2015's Amy looking at the tragic downfall of Amy Winehouse.

With A24 shuttering its documentary division in May 2025, You Can See Everything comes as something of a surprise, especially as it's been made in secret for the past three years.

The film's official synopsis reads: "Thirty-four days before she’s sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move. What begins as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss."

In the brief snippet, we see Fielder grilling Holmes, with the latter saying: "I don’t have anything to deceive you on. Of course I’m not deceiving you. I’m engaging with you as a human being. Why would I deceive you? There’s no reason for me to do that.”

When asked if she's being 'real', Holmes replied: "I’m always being real."

Cut with suspenseful music, it seems the trailer has got under some people's skin, especially as Holmes is currently in the midst of serving her sentence and isn't due out until at least December 2031.

You Can See Everything is co-directed by Lance Oppenheim, who recently turned out the unnerving Primetime that starred Robert Pattinson as To Catch a Predator's Chris Hansen.

While that's a fictionalized recounting of events, You Can See Everything is the real deal.

Replying to the trailer on Instagram, one person wrote: "Is Elizabeth Holmes gonna get nominated for Best Actress cause that was more unsettling than Pattinson as Chris Hansen."

Another added: "I feel like, I need to take a shower? I feel icky. But yes, please continue."

A third simply said: "I’ve never been so uncomfortable in my life."

Someone even feared it was giving Hereditary-level horror.

You Can See Everything was apparently shrouded in secrecy up until its debut at Colorado's Telluride Film Festival on September 6, but by the sounds of it, this will be edge-of-your-seat stuff.
