Tyler Perry’s ‘Six Triple Eight’ film stars Kerry Washington and Oprah in powerful WWII drama

We are finally getting a first look at Tyler Perry and Kerry Washington’s latest project “Six Triple Eight.”
You know when icons like Perry and Washington link up, we are all in for a treat! The movie tells the historic story of the only all-black, all-female World War II Battalion. Here’s the official description:
“‘Six Triple Eight,’” tells the inspiring true story of the incredible and brave women of the only all-black, all-female World War II Battalion. These 855 women joined the war effort with little knowledge of what exactly they would be doing but were quickly given the mission of a lifetime: sort through and fix the three-year backlog of undelivered mail. A herculean task, that most thought to be impossible, the women not only succeeded but did it in half the time they were given. Facing discrimination, unfamiliar land, and a war-torn country, they persevered and sorted over 17 million pieces of mail, reconnecting American soldiers with their families, and loved ones back home. The motto that kept them going each day was one they created themselves: “No Mail, Low Morale.” The women of the 6888 weren’t just delivering mail, they were delivering hope.”
Now, we’re getting a sneak peek at what the movie will look like, via Washington’s and Perry’s Instagram pages.
The movie, which is currently filming, has assembled an all-star cast to tell this incredible story: Kerry Washington, Ebony Obsidian, Milauna Jackson, Kylie Jefferson, Shanice Shantay, Sarah Jeffery, Pepi Sonuga, Jay Reeves, Jeanté Godlock, Moriah Brown, Baadja-Lyne Odums, Gregg Sulkin, Dean Norris, Scott Daniel Johnson, Sam Waterston, Susan Sarandon and Oprah Winfrey.
“Six Triple Eight” is written, directed, and produced by Perry, marking this his fourth film directed for Netflix. Perry has already seen major success with his projects “A Fall From Grace,” “A Madea Homecoming,” which was in the Top 10 in 43 countries, and “A Jazzman’s Blues,” which was in the Top 10 in 55 countries.
Looks like the Perry/Netflix partnership is producing major hits!
