Elizabeth Holmes Shows and Docs to Watch Before ‘You Can See Everything’

This weekend, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s new film You Can See Everything broke the box office record for the biggest non-music documentary opening in history.

The doc follows Theranos founder and convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes and her family, including partner Billy Evans, in the 34 days before she started an 11-year prison sentence in 2023.

It’s the first doc that Holmes has participated in about her criminal activities, but by no means the only piece of media to cover her, Theranos and the criminal trial.

Whether you’ve already seen You Can See Everything and want to see more, or you’re still waiting to find a showtime with available seats, these are three titles you can check out at home to learn more about Theranos, Holmes and her fraud conviction.

• The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley

  The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley premieres on HBO in 2019 and now streams on HBO Max. The doc comes from director Alex Gibney (whose new Musk documentary hit theaters the same day as YCSE) and is inspired by John Carreyrou’s book Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup. Though Holmes declined to participate, she appears in archival footage, and the documentary features interviews with Theranos investors and advisors.

• The Dropout (podcast)

  The Dropout premiered in 2019, offering another take on the Elizabeth Holmes case — this time, in podcast form. Initially six episodes following the rise and fall of Theranos plus the crimes Holmes committed, The Dropout returned for a second six-episode season in 2022 tied to Holmes’ ongoing criminal fraud federal trial.

• The Dropout (miniseries)

  In 2022, The Dropout went from our ears to our screens in the form of a scripted miniseries. The rise and fall of Holmes again played out with Amanda Seyfried playing the disgraced founder and Naveen Andrews co-starring as Sunny Balwani, the now-incarcerated COO of Theranos who was also romantically involved with Holmes.
