Maxine's Baby: The Tyler Perry Story

BIPOC and White kids, teens, and young and older adults. Representations include the documentary's Ethiopian woman co-director Gelila Bekele, who is also the mother of son Aman from a relationship with Black media mogul Tyler Perry; documentary Latino co-director Armani Ortiz, who has worked on productions at Perry's studio; and African American Bishop Paul Morton of Greater St. Stephen Baptist Church, Perry's childhood pastor in New Orleans, Louisiana. Debates exist over Perry's possible negative depiction of African Americans on-screen.
