Alex Gibney looks back on some of the shadiest people he's done movies on, including his latest on Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes.
For close to 40 years, Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney has made movies about some of the most complex and controversial figures of the last century.
Here Gibney looks back on some of the shady people he's made movies about over the years, and says who is the most despicable:Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes at the company's headquarters.Like many of the people on this list, Holmes falls into the group that Gibney described as"prisoners of belief." These are people who are so sucked into their"cause" that they can convince others to join them and can't see the wrong being done.
"Lance could stand up after a race and say, 'How dare you say that I, as a cancer survivor, would ever use performance enhancing drugs.' And I think in the moment he said that he believed it," Gibney said."But then he would get off the stage, go into the bus, and do a bag of blood.
