Holmes Calls Fielder From Prison: 'I Trust You'

Filmmaker Nathan Fielder detailed a surprising phone call from Elizabeth Holmes, who is currently serving her federal prison sentence. The call occurred just prior to the October 16, 2026 release of Fielder's documentary, "You Can See Everything." Fielder, who directed the film with Lance Oppenheim, spoke with Wired about the unique circumstances of the documentary, which follows Holmes, her partner Billy Evans, and their two young children in the 34 days before Holmes began her 11-year prison sentence in May 2023.

In a recent conversation, Fielder shared that Holmes called him twice from a Texas federal prison, a method he understood required multiple attempts if missed. He had not heard from her in over six months. During their call, Holmes confirmed she had seen some, but not all, of the press surrounding her documentary and then told Fielder, "I trust you." She repeated this sentiment at the end of their conversation, leaving Fielder uncertain of its exact meaning.

The documentary "You Can See Everything" captures the final days of Holmes' freedom before her incarceration. Fielder noted that Holmes also spoke about her children and provided updates he deemed private. The unexpected call and Holmes' repeated expression of trust have led Fielder to reflect on the ongoing nature of her story, suggesting it remains complex and difficult to fully unravel.
