What You Can See Everything is about
The documentary begins 34 days before Holmes was due to report to prison, according to the film’s official synopsis.
Holmes invited a film crew to record her life, but the project developed into a much longer and more complicated portrait.
The official description says the story became a three-year journey involving Holmes, Fielder and the people around her.
Fielder co-directed the film with Oppenheim, whose previous documentary work includes the 2025 film Primetime, according to festival information for the project.
The film’s central tension comes from the unusual access given to the filmmakers and from the question of how much control a subject can retain once cameras remain present over an extended period.
Nathan Fielder brings an unconventional approach
Fielder is best known for projects that blur documentary, performance and constructed reality, including Nathan for You, The Rehearsal and The Curse.
You Can See Everything applies that sensibility to a real person whose public story has already been examined through criminal proceedings, investigative reporting and dramatized adaptations.
The film is not presented as a conventional business documentary about the rise and collapse of Theranos.
Instead, its official materials emphasize the filmmaker-subject relationship and the increasingly strange circumstances surrounding the production.
That approach makes the documentary relevant to viewers interested not only in Holmes and Theranos, but also in the ethics and limits of observational filmmaking.
Why Elizabeth Holmes remains central to the story
Holmes founded Theranos, a company that claimed it could transform medical testing through technology requiring only small blood samples.
A federal jury convicted Holmes in January 2022 of conspiracy to commit wire fraud against investors and three counts of wire fraud.
The U.S. Department of Justice said the convictions involved investor transfers totalling more than US$140 million.
She was sentenced in November 2022 to 135 months, or 11 years and three months, in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release.
She was ordered to surrender on April 27, 2023.
The Ninth Circuit later affirmed Holmes’s convictions, sentence and a US$452-million restitution order in a decision issued in February 2025.
That legal history forms the backdrop to the film, but the documentary’s focus is the period surrounding Holmes’s transition from public figure and convicted fraudster to prisoner.
