Fielder Unveils Secret Elizabeth Holmes Documentary at Telluride

Holmes raises more than $700 million while, in the Securities and Exchange Commission's words, "deceiving investors by making it appear as if Theranos had successfully developed a commercially-ready portable blood analyzer." The company claimed it could run hundreds of tests on a single drop of blood from a finger prick. A series of Wall Street Journal investigations exposed the fraud.

Holmes hosts a high-profile fundraiser for Hillary Clinton at Theranos' Palo Alto headquarters during Clinton's campaign against Donald Trump.

Holmes is convicted on four counts of fraud, covering more than $140 million in wire fraud according to the Justice Department, and sentenced to 11 years and three months.

She reports to prison. Thirty-four days earlier, per the film's logline, she had invited a skeptical film crew to document her every move.

Holmes resumes posting on X after her account sat dormant since 2015, this time with pro-Trump and pro-Make America Healthy Again messages. In November she shares a Politico article about MAHA "embracing" her and writes: "I have been working to Make America Healthy Again since 2004."

Holmes files for a commutation of her sentence. The Justice Department's Office of the Pardon Attorney lists the request as pending.

The film screens as Telluride's "Sunday TBA," the festival's annual secret slot. Cellphones are confiscated from the audience at the Herzog Theatre. A24 then releases the trailer and confirms an October theatrical run.
