Netflix has offered a glimpse at Tyler Perry’s highly anticipated forthcoming film, Six Triple Eight, the inspiring true story of the 6888th Battalion.
About ‘Six Triple Eight’
Written and directed by Tyler Perry, the film tells the story of World War II’s only Women’s Army Corps unit of color.
The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion played a unique role in the war effort.
They tackled a three-year backlog of undelivered mail, ensuring American soldiers stationed far from home received their letters.
Despite facing discrimination and navigating a vast, unfamiliar country amidst global conflict, these 855 women brought hope to the front lines.
Embracing the motto “No mail, low morale,” they lived up to their promise, delivering a staggering 17 million pieces of mail and boosting morale when the United States needed it most.
The Cast
The cast of the film features a star-studded ensemble that pays homage to its real-life inspirations.
Led by Kerry Washington, the impressive lineup includes 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, Dean Norris, Sam Waterston, Susan Sarandon, and Oprah Winfrey.
