New Theranos Documentary Hits the Silver Screens, Then HBO

Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of the now-failed Theranos, has become a subject of fascination for many people. Her ability to secure billions of dollars for her company without showing any supporting evidence of the product to investors is a compelling study. Not only are there questions of how she was able to do it, but how she was able to maintain the façade for so long? Holmes is such a fascinating subject she and Theranos have become the subject of a plethora of articles, books, a long-form podcast from ABC, a feature film in the works starring Jennifer Lawrence and documentaries. This week, a documentary called “The Inventor: Out For Blood In Silicon Valley” about Holmes will hit the theaters for a limited run and then appear on HBO. The documentary is the brainchild of noted documentarian Alex Gibney. Gibney, who won an Academy Award in 2008 for his documentary “Taxi to the Dark Side,” teamed up with HBO Documentary Films to tell the story of Theranos.
