The HBO documentary includes footage from all-hands meetings and company parties, and shows the CEO dancing to 'U Can't Touch This.'

Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes at the company's headquarters.Gibney said the decision to feature that footage over the deposition tapes was that it was better to see what Holmes was like while the company was in its heyday.There's one incident Gibney said he wishes he could have shown in the film, but he couldn't get any footage.

In 2008, two Theranos executives approached Theranos's then-chairman of the board, the venture capitalist Don Lucas, to tell him that the company's revenue projections had been greatly exaggerated, considering the blood-testing device Theranos was building wasn't finished. Lucas convened a board meeting, asking Holmes to wait outside, and the board reached a decision to remove her as CEO.

In"Bad Blood," Carreyrou writes that within the next two hours, Holmes got the board to change its mind. Gibney said he would've loved to get into how Holmes was able to change the minds of the high-powered people she had on her board at the time.
