The LA Times had the following before the Doc aired:
The documentary, which will run about an hour in length, will feature interviews with Jobs’ Apple co-founders Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne; former presidential candidate and businessman Ross Perot, who was also a major investor in Jobs’ NeXT Computer company; Dean Hovey, designer of Apple’s first mouse; Robert Palladino, Jobs’ calligraphy professor at Reed College; Bill Fernandez, who introduced Jobs and Wozniak in Sunnyvale, Calif.; columnist Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal; and Will.i.am, tech lover, music producer and member of the Black Eyed Peas, PBS said in a statement about the film.
“There has been near-universal agreement that the late Apple founder was a great innovator in business and technology, but why was he great?” PBS said of the documentary’s focus. “What were the influences that shaped his character and drove him to such success from humble beginnings? With colleagues who worked closely with him and those who have chronicled his life, take an unflinching look at the mercurial, brilliant man and review his many talents and achievements.”
The documentary is being released on the heels of an authorized biography on Jobs by writer Walter Isaacson, titled simply “Steve Jobs,” which was released last week. In its first six-days on sale, Isaacson’s book sold more than 379,000 copies in the U.S. according to the book sales tracking firm Nielsen BookScan, as reported by the website the Bookseller.
