Prime Video is pulling back the curtain on the man behind Madea.
The streaming service has released a trailer for Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story, “a tender and intimate portrait of visionary and innovator Tyler Perry and his harrowing-but-faithful road to the top of an industry that didn’t always include him.
“Nearly a decade in the making, with unfettered access, directors Gelila Bekele and Armani Ortiz lead us 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 logline continues. “The product is a profound lesson on remembering where you came from to know where you want to go.”
Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story begins streaming Friday, Nov. 17.
