Tyler Perry's latest film, 'The Six Triple Eight', tells the inspiring true story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-black and all-female unit during World War II. Facing formidable challenges and prejudice, these women bravely cleared a massive backlog of mail, proving their strength and dedication in the face of adversity.
While Hollywood has produced some phenomenal war drama s, actor, film-maker and playwright Tyler Perry has latched onto a compelling true-life story with 'The Six Triple Eight'. The war drama , written and directed by Perry, unpacks the lesser-known story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-black and all-female battalion, in World War II.
The segregated black Women’s Army Corps, helmed by Major Charity Adams (Kerry Washington) and her second-in-command Captain Noel Campbell (Milauna Jackson), are reassigned to Glasgow where they are given a seemingly impossible task of clearing a two-year backlog of undelivered mail within a six-month deadline. They are forced to live in uninhabitable conditions and endure numerous racist and sexist attacks, which makes their task even more difficult. The film features a phenomenal cast, which includes cameos by Sam Waterson (Franklin Roosevelt), Oprah Winfrey (Mary McLeod Bethune) and Susan Sarandon (Eleanor Roosevelt).
