Inventor Out of Blood in Silicone Valley (2019): Movie Review

                                                                                                  


Jim's Review:

Elizabeth Holms built Theranos into a multibillion-dollar healthcare company taking the world and healthcare by storm solving a huge problem in the industry doing blood test quickly using a mini machine.

The got a many well known investors to fund her company and then as time passed questions began to asked and Theranos leadership got good at misrepresenting data and deflecting the attention

This came to halting end when Wall Street Journal did a piece with the help of some whistleblowers and everything unraveled very quickly

Elizabeth Holmes is serving some jail time  (11 years) in my opinion not enough for the deaths she caused and the people she lied to numerous times!

9 out of 10 stars


Movie plot
With a new invention that promised to revolutionize blood testing, Elizabeth Holmes became the world's youngest self-made billionaire, heralded as the next Steve Jobs. Then, just two years later, her multibillion-dollar company was dissolved.

From Academy Award-winning director Alex Gibney comes a documentary about the rise and fall of Theranos, the one-time multibillion-dollar healthcare company founded by Elizabeth Holmes. Premieres March 18 on HBO.
