‘The Six Triple Eight’ storms onto Netflix this December.
Written and directed by Tyler Perry, the eagerly anticipated film stars Kerry Washington as Major Charity Adams, the commanding officer of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion.
Inspired by the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII, the movie has long been buzzed about since its announcement. It’s based on the article by Kevin M. Hymel and centers on the overcoming of racism, sexism, and unthinkable working conditions.
Washington leads a stellar cast that includes 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.
‘The Six Triple Eight’ features an original song written by Diane Warren and performed by H.E.R.
With a limited theatrical run commencing December 6, the film arrives on Netflix on December 20.

Looks like a female prison indeed
I’m intrigued, something I don’t ALWAYS say when it comes to a Tyler Perry flick or project.
