The first image from Tyler Perry's 'Six Triple Eight' shows Kerry Washington in the harrowing WWII biopic.
Tyler Perry has begun rolling the cameras on his next project, Six Triple Eight, a World War II drama about a key yet lesser-known aspect of the second world war involving the bravery of a group of Black women who joined the American army in order to serve a unique non-combat purpose of keeping communication alive between soldiers and their families back home.
One of the images spotlights Kerry Washington as Major Charity Adams, the leader of the battalion who by the end of the war was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel, making her the highest-ranking Black woman in the Army. She's dressed in a long coat in khaki colors, wears a beret, and has a maroon leather purse slung across her shoulders. Another photo shows Perry in a group photo with the actresses playing the 855 brave women that made up the titular battalion.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Enduring discrimination and prejudice that saw them working in unfavorable conditions, the patriotic women of the 6888th battalion fulfilled in record time the task of sorting a three-years-old backlog of mail, which came to about 17 million, and delivering them to soldiers in various war-torn areas where they were stationed.
"Six Triple Eight tells the inspiring true story of the incredible and brave women of the only all-black, all-female World War 2 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.
