Nathan Fielder's Documentary Offers Intimate Look at Elizabeth Holmes' Home

Filmmaker Nathan Fielder's documentary, "You Can See Everything," offers an intimate glimpse into the San Diego home of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes in the 34 days preceding her incarceration. The A24-produced film follows Fielder as he resides with Holmes, her partner Billy Evans, and their two young children, William and Invicta, in the rental property. Holmes, a mother of two, was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison for her role in wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud, having been found guilty in January 2022. Her sentence was subsequently reduced to nine years due to good behavior. She reported to the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas, on May 30, 2023. The documentary trailer depicts Fielder moving into the San Diego residence, where Holmes and Evans had relocated to be nearer to Evans' family. Evans' parents, William L. Evans and Susan Evans, are noted hotel magnates. The film's premise involves Fielder observing and documenting Holmes' life in her final weeks of freedom, capturing "every move" she made. Holmes herself is quoted in the trailer, stating, "This is the moment in time to capture this story before I’m gone," indicating her awareness of the documentary's purpose. The trailer showcases various domestic scenes, including a dimly lit bedroom, a children's room with a spaceship theme, a kitchen with a pebble-filled windowsill, and the wood-paneled bedroom Fielder occupied for over a month. While the exact duration of the family's stay in the home and its precise location remain undisclosed, the New York Times reported their move to San Diego was for proximity to Evans' relatives. The documentary aims to provide a more personal and detailed account of Holmes' life than previous narratives, focusing on her domestic environment during this critical period before her imprisonment. Fielder's involvement suggests a unique approach to documentary filmmaking, immersing himself in the subject's immediate surroundings to explore the human element of a widely publicized legal and business downfall. The film's title, "You Can See Everything," implies a comprehensive and unfiltered portrayal of Holmes' final days of liberty.
