Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of blood-testing startup Theranos, is the subject of a new documentary from comedian Nathan Fielder and filmmaker Lance Oppenheim. You Can See Everything is in theaters now after being made largely in secret over nearly four years. The movie has already won widespread acclaim, with some critics calling it one of the year's best movies. Holmes founded Theranos at 19 and became a celebrated Silicon Valley entrepreneur by claiming the company had developed technology capable of performing a wide range of medical tests using a small amount of blood. But the technology did not live up to her claims, and in 2022, Holmes was convicted of defrauding Theranos investors. She is serving a federal prison sentence. Filming for the documentary began 34 days before Holmes was due to report to prison, with Fielder moving into her home to capture an unusually intimate look at her life. Here's a look at Holmes's rise and fall. Who is Elizabeth Holmes? Holmes founded Theranos in 2003 and served as the company's CEO. Her pitch helped turn her into one of Silicon Valley's most prominent young entrepreneurs.
