The San Francisco PBS affiliate, KQED (Ch 9) is quite concise
about the length of the program. Here's their blurb: (I didn't
know she is a Buddhist, did you?)

Joni Mitchell: Woman of Heart and Mind
Wed, April 2, 2003 -- 9:00pm
Duration: 1:26:46 CC ST

The daughter of a grocery store manager and a teacher in
Canada, Joni Mitchell is now a US citizen, a Buddhist, a poet and a
painter, whose heroes are Miles Davis, Pablo Picasso and Georgia
O'Keeffe. Uncompromising and iconoclastic, Mitchell has
confounded expectations at every turn - wildly innovative, her
music evolved from deeply personal folk into pop, jazz and
avant-garde, prophetic of the multi- cultural experimentation of
the `80s and `90s. Fiercely independent, she resisted the whims
of mainstream audiences and the male-dominated recording
industry. Mitchell's records may never have sold as widely as some
of her contemporaries, but no one experimented so recklessly or
so bravely explored territory outside of accepted pop music.


They also have a link for further information with a page of
text. They incorrectly site her first album as "Joni Mitchell"
released in 1967 [it was '68]:
