Nathan Fielder's 'You Can See Everything' Turns the Camera on Elizabeth Holmes
In April 2023, Nathan Fielder collaborated with Lance Oppenheim to co-direct a nearly three-hour documentary titled 'You Can See Everything,' just before Elizabeth Holmes commenced her eleven-year prison sentence. Holmes, the Theranos founder, was found guilty in 2022 on four counts of fraud for deceiving investors regarding a blood-testing device. The couple welcomed Fielder and his crew into their rental in Del Mar, California, to showcase 'radical transparency.' Billy Evans, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, describes Holmes as 'so true and so good' and is developing 'Theranos 2.0.' Both Evans and Holmes assert her innocence, attributing blame to former C.O.O. Ramesh Balwani. The film also features Amanda Seyfried, who played Holmes in 'The Dropout,' and delves into the complexities of truly knowing others.
