LOS ANGELES, Oct 9 — The private life of disgraced Silicon Valley startup founder Elizabeth Holmes will soon be aired to the public in a startling new documentary filmed in the 34 days before she went to prison.
The buzzy film from Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, out in US theatres October 16, captures the reclusive former executive’s world in the month before her incarceration for fraud at her now-defunct health technology company Theranos, whose lofty promises it couldn’t deliver.
Theranos falsely touted technology capable of performing medical tests using only a few drops of blood.
The project took Silicon Valley by storm in the early 2010s, as young entrepreneur Holmes drew investors – including Henry Kissinger, Carlos Slim and Rupert Murdoch – to her project.
