The Inventor: Out For Blood In Silicon Valley

Ever heard of the health tech company Theranos? Led by Elizabeth Holmes, Theranos sought to revolutionize the health industry with “the Edison,” a machine that could perform 200 tests in one minute using a single drop of blood. And it may have worked, had it not all been a lie. Once valued at nine billion dollars, the business that promised to change the world quickly dissolved into a fraudulent scheme. Directed by Alex Gibney (GOING CLEAR: SCIENTOLOGY & THE PRISON OF BELIEF), THE INVENTOR investigates how Holmes deceived high-profile investors and examines the myths surrounding America’s entrepreneurial elites, at a time where the tech industry has never been more vulnerable to its own ego.
