Atlanta film mogul Tyler Perry is back with his most personal film yet, Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story.
The movie, which is part of Perry’s four-film deal with Amazon Studios, ventures into the upbringing and motivations of a young Emmitt Perry, who later changed his first name to Tyler to disassociate himself from his abusive father.
In the documentary, we see Perry’s dysfunctional childhood and how it played a role in the characters he would create and the stage and screen worlds he would later construct for millions of people.
