Special claimed to have 'unflinching' look at CEO

PBS will air a new Steve Jobs documentary on November 2nd at 10PM Eastern, the network has announced. Titled Steve Jobs: One Last Thing, the special will allegedly take an "unflinching" look at Jobs, who is characterized as "a creative genius whose innovations transformed the lives of millions" but also described as having had a "difficult, controlling disposition." Another recurring theme will be the influences that affected his character and drove him to success.

Some notable interviewees in the special will include Apple co-founders Ronald Wayne and Steve Wozniak, and Wall Street Journal columnist Walt Mossberg, who interviewed Jobs every year between 2003 and 2010. It should also contain material from a previously unbroadcast 1994 Jobs interview. "You tend to get told that the world is the way it is, but life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact; and that is that everything around you that you call life was made up by people no smarter than you," Jobs says during the clip. "Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again."

Media outlets have rushed to produce material covering Jobs' life. A Discovery documentary was one of the first efforts, announced just five days after his death. Sony is known to be working on a fictionalized, feature-length movie, one which could be written by The Social Network scribe Aaron Sorkin.
