This documentary about notorious Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has become a cultural phenomenon, and we are delighted to be avble to include two late addition screenings this season. It is somehow, more twistier, thornier and revealing than billed - a thrilling once-in-a-lifetime collision of director and subject.
Thirty-four days before she is sent to prison, Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move. What begins as an intimate portrait becomes a mind-bending three-year journey. The fundamental truth about Theranos, the fraudulent company that Holmes founded as a Stanford University dropout in 2003, is that the technology - a portable blood analyzer that could provide comprehensive test data from finger drop samples - was never going to work. There were many twists to the truth as Holmes raised billions in support of her fraudulent claims, and just as many in this eye-opening film. It is filmed like a thriller and scored like a drama, that plays like an unraveling of certainty in real time.
