A24 documentary pairs Nathan Fielder with Elizabeth Holmes before her prison term
Weeks before Elizabeth Holmes began her 11-year fraud sentence in 2023, she and her husband approached A24 proposing a documentary crew follow her final days of freedom. Nathan Fielder and director Lance Oppenheim took on the project, producing a film in which Fielder questions Holmes directly, including drawing comparisons between his own comedic business stunts and her Theranos fraud.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The project raises questions about how documentary filmmaking can be used by disgraced figures seeking to reshape public perception, especially when they themselves initiate the coverage. Fielder's background blurring satire and reality positions him as an unusual interrogator of Holmes' self-justifications, which the piece suggests remain unresolved even after her conviction.
- Holmes contacted A24 about a documentary shortly before beginning her prison sentence.
- Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim made the resulting film, with Fielder directly questioning Holmes.
- The documentary probes whether Holmes genuinely believes she did nothing wrong despite her conviction.
