Elizabeth Holmes Was Ahead of Her Time

Elizabeth Holmes, founder of Theranos, is now viewed as ahead of her time. Her biotechnology company made bold promises to revolutionize medicine through tiny blood tests. Despite her conviction for defrauding investors, Holmes maintains she did nothing wrong and that Theranos could meet its technological breakthroughs. Her new documentary, You Can See Everything, directed by Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder, aims to reveal the truth behind her seemingly flawless persona.

The film shows that even in her final days, Holmes and her partner Billy Evans were planning to launch a new iteration of Theranos, dubbed Theranos 2.0.
