Teaser Trailer for Netflix's WWII Drama THE SIX TRIPLE EIGHT Starring Kerry Washington; Based on a True Story
Netflix has released a great teaser trailer for their upcoming WWII drama, The Six Triple Eight. The film stars Kerry Washington as Major Charity Adams, the commanding officer of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion.
She is joined by co-stars Ebony Obsidian, Milauna Jackson, Kylie Jefferson, Shanice Shantay, Sarah Jeffery, Pepi Sonuga, Moriah Brown, Jeanté Godlock, with Susan Sarandon, Dean Norris, Sam Waterston, and Oprah Winfrey.
The film is directed and written by Tyler Perry, based on the article "Fighting A Two-Front War'' by Kevin M. Hymel, published in WWII History Magazine by Sovereign Media.
The film’s synopsis reads:
“The Six Triple Eight is inspired by the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII. Despite facing racism and sexism - and grueling working conditions - they were committed to serving their country with honor & distinction.
Given an extraordinary mission, united in determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers.”
This looks like an excellent film that gives us a completely new perspective on World War II. I love a good true story that I’ve never heard before, and this looks like it will be an interesting one.
Check out the trailer below, and watch The Six Triple Eight on Netflix this holiday season on December 20th.
