By 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.
