Documentary Sparks Debate Over Truth
Tap title to read story
The 2026 documentary "You Can See Everything" examines former biotech founder Elizabeth Holmes and her husband Billy Evans. Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, the film claims to expose how Holmes has misled investors and the public. It has already attracted box‑office revenue comparable to mid‑budget thrillers, making it the most talked‑about nonfiction film since the 2009 Michael Jackson rehearsal documentary. Critics note that Holmes initiated the project, possibly with crisis PR specialist Risa Heller, and that the film employs two camera setups to capture every reaction. The documentary’s release has prompted calls for further scrutiny of Holmes’s statements and the broader practice of documentary filmmaking.
