The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley

The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley

Elizabeth Holmes left Stanford in 2004 to start a company that would launch a healthcare revolution. In 2014, her company Theranos was valued at $9 billion, making Holmes the youngest female billionaire in the world, akin to the Steve Jobs of healthcare. Just two years later, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Theranos with fraud, causing the company to collapse. This is the fascinating story of Elizabeth Holmes and the Theranos scandal, portrayed by director Alex Gibey through never-before-seen footage and insider testimonies. With all of the drama of a real-life heist film, this documentary explores how this could have happened and who was responsible.
