Jack Dunn Netflix has unveiled a trailer for Tyler Perry‘s original wartime drama “The Six Triple Eight,” starring Kerry Washington.
According to the official logline, “‘The Six Triple Eight’ is inspired by the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII.
Given an extraordinary mission and united in their determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers.” Washington plays Major Charity Adams, who, in the trailer, commands a battalion of women soldiers and gives them some stern words of encouragement before starting their training. “I am giving you my best, and you will give me yours.
A lot of people do not want us to succeed. We have the most to prove,” she barks. “Welcome to the Women’s Army Corp.” Other cast members include Oprah Winfrey, Susan Sarandon, Ebony Obsidian, Dean Norris, Sam Waterston, 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 and Scott Daniel Johnson.
