Trailer: Kerry Washington Wows in ‘The Six Triple Eight’

‘The Six Triple Eight’ arrives on Netflix this December.

Penned and directed by Tyler Perry, the eagerly anticipated movie is anchored by Kerry Washington, who stars as Major Charity Adams – the commanding officer of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion.

Based on the article by Kevin M. Hymel, the movie is inspired by the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII and unpacks a narrative of overcoming racism, sexism, and unthinkable working conditions.

Washington appears alongside an impressive cast that features Ebony Obsidian, Milauna Jackson, Kylie Jefferson, Shanice Shantay, Sarah Jeffery, Pepi Sonuga, Moriah Brown, Jeanté Godlock, Susan Sarandon, Dean Norris, Sam Waterston, and Oprah Winfrey.

As reported, ‘The Six Triple Eight’ includes an original song written by Oscar honoree Diane Warren and performed by H.E.R.

A limited theatrical run has been set for December 6, with the film arriving on Netflix on December 20.
