Maxine's Baby: The Tyler Perry Story, directed by Gelila Bekele and Armani Ortiz, grants the audience unfettered access to the inner world of Tyler Perry, whose story has never fully been told, as he becomes a father and media mogul with a mission to pave his own road to the top. The film is a profound lesson on remembering where you came from in order to know where you want to go. (AFI Fest)
