THE DROPOUT
Disney+
» Genre: Biography / Drama » Creator: Elizabeth Meriwether (New Girl) » Actors: Amanda Seyfried, Naveen Andrews, Michaela Watkins How could a 19-year-old Stanford dropout convince some of the world’s most powerful individuals to invest $9 billion in a sham blood testing company? The Dropout is the true story of fraudster Elizabeth Holmes – a brilliant, dynamic, but ultimately unqualified entrepreneur who fooled the world into thinking that one tiny machine could test for a variety of conditions using just one drop of blood. “This is what happens when you work to change things. First they think you’re crazy, then they fight you, and then all of a sudden you change the world,” she told the press, never coming good on her promises. 128 / JUNE 2022 ESSENTIAL MAGAZINE
