The documentary mission of filmmaker Alex Gibney

Filmmaker Alex Gibney is prolific - he has made 14 documentaries in just five years. His subjects range from Enron and the fall of former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer to the Church of Scientology. His latest project puts Apple founder Steve Jobs in his crosshairs. Jane Pauley reports on the director who shines a spotlight onto the grey areas of stories that may appear at first very black-and-white.
