Kerry Washington Leads Women’s Army Corps Unit in The Six Triple Eight Trailer

by

As a history enthusiast with a soft spot for stories of courage and resilience, I am genuinely thrilled about Netflix’s upcoming release, “The Six Triple Eight.” The trailer alone has stirred within me a profound sense of anticipation and admiration for these unsung heroes who defied the odds in a time when both sexism and racism were rampant.

Netflix recently unveiled a preview for “The Six Triple Eight,” an upcoming historical drama directed by Tyler Perry, which is slated to stream on December 20, 2024.

The Six Triple Eight is based on the unique Women’s Army Corps unit of color who served overseas during WWII. Despite encountering racism and sexism, as well as challenging work environments, they remained dedicated to serving their country with pride and distinction. Assigned an exceptional task and fueled by their resolve, these unacknowledged heroes brought hope and broke down barriers.

The film titled “The Six Triple Eight” is penned and supervised by Tyler Perry, inspired by an article authored by Kevin M. Hymel in 2019 for WWII History Magazine.
