Theranos Founder Featured in A24 Documentary Filmed Weeks Before Prison Surrender
The disgraced founder of Theranos allowed a film crew into her home for a new A24 documentary just weeks before reporting to prison in May 2023, according to recent reports.
The documentary, produced by the independent entertainment company A24, captured the former biotechnology entrepreneur during the final weeks of her freedom. The filming took place shortly before she began serving her prison sentence following her conviction on fraud charges related to the collapsed blood-testing startup.
Theranos, once valued at $9 billion, promised to revolutionize healthcare with technology that could run comprehensive blood tests from a few drops of blood. The company unraveled after investigations revealed the technology did not work as claimed, leading to criminal charges against its leadership.
The A24 documentary is expected to provide a rare glimpse into the final days before the founder’s incarceration, though a release date has not been announced.
