Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim have premiered “You Can See Everything”, a documentary about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, at the Telluride Film Festival. The A24 project follows one of the most closely watched figures in recent corporate and legal controversy, while bringing together Fielder and Oppenheim, filmmakers associated with documentary and narrative storytelling.

The project began 34 days before Holmes was due to report to prison. It grew from Holmes inviting a film crew to follow her, and developed into a three-year production.

That starting point gives the film an unusual position within the wider body of work about Theranos. Holmes founded the health technology company, which became the subject of significant controversy and legal proceedings. “You Can See Everything” is built around access offered by Holmes herself, though the extent of her co-operation during filming has not been specified.

The film’s Telluride premiere places it at a festival known for introducing major documentary and narrative works. Its arrival also joins sustained public interest in the Theranos story with the work of filmmakers whose reputations make the project a notable cultural event.

Few further details have been disclosed. The documentary’s particular narrative focus, its content and the date of any wider release remain unknown. There is also no information yet on audience or critical response to its Telluride screening.
