A new documentary set for release next month offers a rare glimpse inside disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes’ life in the final weeks before she entered federal prison.
The trailer for A24’s “You Can See Everything,” released this week, shows Holmes in a candid conversation with filmmaker Nathan Fielder as she repeatedly insists she is not deceiving him.
“I’m not that person, I can promise you that,” Holmes says. “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.”

Fielder responds, “OK. Alright. OK, good chat. … You’re being real right now?”
“I’m always being real,” Holmes responded.
The trailer debuted as the documentary premiered at the Telluride Film Festival over the weekend, The New York Times reported.
According to A24, Holmes invited a “skeptical film crew” to document her life 34 days before she reported to prison.
“What begins as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss,” the studio says in the film’s synopsis.

The film features intimate conversations between Holmes and Fielder and, according to The New York Times, reveals that Holmes and her partner, Billy Evans, discussed plans to launch “a new and improved Theranos.”
“I don’t know why I’m there,” Fielder said during a post-screening Q&A at Telluride, according to The New York Times.
Fielder said he repeatedly gave Holmes and Evans opportunities to stop filming, the outlet reported.
“I’m really struggling to this day to understand what I experienced,” he added. “I’m excited for this movie to come out and for people to help me with what I experienced.”
Holmes, 42, founded Theranos on claims its technology could perform hundreds of medical tests using just a few drops of blood. Prosecutors said those claims were false and that she defrauded investors by misleading them about the company’s technology and business. Holmes was convicted on one count of conspiracy to commit fraud and three counts of committing fraud Jan. 2, 2022.
Theranos shut down in 2018.
