Theranos at one point had a star-studded board of directors, including military leaders and former secretaries of state.
"Secretary Mattis was struck by the promise of technology and was looking for any technology solution to save lives on the battlefield,"Auletta in the documentary said that the board members spoke about Holmes as if she were a visionary.
"They were talking about her as if she were Beethoven, as if she was this rare creature that maybe one in a century or two in a century come along who really can change the world," Auletta said. Kissinger, for instance, told Auletta that she had an"ethereal quality.""She is like a member of a monastic order," Kissinger said.
Kissinger however, wasn't a fan of the length of the board meetings. He told Auletta that he had complained to Holmes. "The board meetings, this is a human rights violation," Kissinger recalled saying to Holmes, in his interview with Auletta., said in the documentary that the reputations of the board members, especially Kissinger, gave credibility to what the company was doing.NOW WATCH:
