Netflix has premiered the trailer for writer/director Tyler Perry’s historical drama “The Six Triple Eight” which will premiere on the service on December 20th.
The story is based on an article by Kevin M. Hymel and is inspired by the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to serve in Europe during the second world war.
Their unit’s mission? To sort and deliver millions of letters to soldiers who haven’t received their mail for years in hopes of boosting their morale.
Despite facing racism and sexism, and grueling working conditions, they were committed to serving their country with honor and distinction.
Given an extraordinary mission and united in their determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers.
The film stars Kerry Washington as Major Charity Adams who is tasked as leader of the group.
She’s joined by Oprah Winfrey, Susan Sarandon, Sam Waterston, Ebony Obsidian, Milauna Jackson, Kylie Jefferson, Shanice Shantay, Sarah Jeffery, Pepi Sonuga, Moriah Brown, Jeanté Godlock, Jay Reeves, Jeffery Johnson, Baadja-Lyne Odums, Donna Biscoe, Gregg Sulkin, Scott Daniel Johnson, and Dean Norris.
