Trailer Released for Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes Documentary, Set for October 16 Release

A trailer has been released for a new documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder of failed blood-testing startup Theranos, directed by filmmaker Nathan Fielder. The film is scheduled to arrive in theaters on October 16.

Fielder, known for his distinctive and often unconventional approach to documentary and comedic filmmaking, takes on one of the most closely followed corporate fraud stories of the past decade. Holmes was convicted in 2022 on charges of defrauding investors after Theranos, once valued at billions of dollars on claims of revolutionary blood-testing technology, was found to have misrepresented the capabilities of its devices.

Holmes' case has already been the subject of extensive media coverage, including books, podcasts, a scripted television series and a prior documentary, reflecting sustained public fascination with her rise and fall as a Silicon Valley entrepreneur. Fielder's involvement adds a notable name to that body of work, given his reputation for approaching subjects through an unusual and often surprising lens.

Details of the documentary's specific content, interview subjects and overall approach to the Theranos story have not been fully disclosed ahead of its release. The project's announcement has already generated attention given the combination of Fielder's filmmaking style and the enduring public interest in the Holmes case.

The documentary is set for a theatrical release on October 16, though further distribution details, including any streaming availability, have not yet been announced.
