Not to be confused with the new fictional biopic Steve Jobs by Danny Boyle, Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney, director of Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, has created a riveting documentary about Apple legend Steve Jobs. Packed with great stories and exhaustively researched, the film explores his childhood years to his pioneering days with Apple creating the iPhone and iPod. Brilliant and ruthless, the documentary reveals his manipulative nature whether cutting out partner Steve Wozniak from a fair share of money over a collaborative Atari invention to his bullying of staff. Staff speak in awe of his inventions and ingenuity while revealing many horror stories and the cost to their personal lives of working under his direction. Featuring interviews with many important people in Jobs’ life including the mother of Jobs’ first child and many of his colleagues. This is no corporate sanctioned hagiography and was made without Apple’s cooperation or that of Jobs’ immediate family.
