Nathan Fielder Reveals Elizabeth Holme Phone Call Over 'You Can See Everything'
Key Points:
- Nathan Fielder revealed that Elizabeth Holmes called him from prison just before the release of his documentary "You Can See Everything," marking their first contact in over six months, during which she expressed trust in him.
- The documentary, co-directed by Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, chronicles Holmes and her partner Billy Evans in the final weeks before Holmes begins her 11-year prison sentence for fraud related to Theranos.
- Fielder became involved after Holmes and Evans failed to pitch their own documentary to A24, and despite his unconventional style, Holmes allowed him to film, a decision that puzzled Fielder.
- Evans explained their motivation for the film was to humanize Holmes and allow audiences to form their own opinions, countering widespread negative perceptions about her.
- Despite their intentions, the documentary has intensified backlash against Holmes, with a disturbing trailer and strong box office performance, grossing $15 million domestically and becoming one of the biggest documentary launches in decades.
