New Tyler Perry Documentary to Release on Prime Video

The first trailer for the upcoming documentary on Tyler Perry has landed, and it gives us a glimpse at the emotional, uplifting tale behind the rise of the multihyphenate.

A nod to his mother's love, Maxine's Baby: The Tyler Perry Story is a tender and intimate portrait of visionary and innovator Tyler Perry: his harrowing but faithful road to the top of an industry that didn't always include him. With unfettered access, we are invited into the inner-world of a man whose story has never fully been told as he becomes a father and a media mogul with a mission to pave his own road to the top.

The trailer begins by discussing Perry's painful relationship with his father before it dives into dissecting the trail he blazed despite all the odds stacked against him.

Maxine's Baby: The Tyler Perry Story , which is the first feature from Armani Ortiz and Perry's former partner, Gelila Bekele, will hit Prime Video on November 17.
