Atlanta movie mogul Tyler Perry has been making the rounds doing promotion for his newest film, Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story, which is streaming on Netflix.

When Perry recently went on The View TV show, he was struck by something Sara Haines said about the documentary.

“I met your mother,” Haines said about the film, which has received rave reviews from critics. That little aside caught Perry right in his heart. “You .. you met my mother?” he said, visibly emotional.

Perry’s mother passed away on December 8, 2009. For him, the moment was one of confirmation that the documentary introduced the woman who raised him to the world.

Watch the emotional moment here.
