The Six Triple Eight Second Teaser ‘Provides Hope’

In dark times, getting a letter means a lot especially if that time is during a war. Netflix today have released another teaser trailer for The Six Triple Eight provides hope.

The Six Tripple Eight is a true story war based drama, set during World War II, the US Army’s only all-Black, all-women battalion takes on an impossible mission. Kerry Washington is Major Charity Adams in charge of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, who delivered that connection between the soliders and their family back home. They also had to fight battles of sexism and racism amongst their own soliders.

Interesting to see how Tyler Perry goes with this one, a war drama instead of the romance or mediocre comedies he’s renowned for. Washington does look very good in this, awards contender?
