The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley
This brilliant documentary dives into the scandal that rocked Silicon Valley. Elizabeth Holmes became the world’s youngest billionaire thanks to her blood-testing invention. But overnight, it all came crashing down.
Directed by Oscar and Emmy winner Alex Gibney (Taxi To The Dark Side, Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief), the HBO documentary reveals what happened and explores the psychology of deception behind Silicon Valley’s “fake it till you make it” mindset.
“This story is a classic example of truth is more dramatic than fiction,” says Gibney. “The characters are at once larger-than-life and real.”
