Tyler Perry’s New Film Was Inspired By Black Women
Tyler Perry is back with a powerful new film, Six Triple Eight, and this one is a must-see. Now in select theaters and hitting Netflix this Friday, the movie tells the inspiring and untold story of the 6888th Battalion—an all-Black, all-female unit that made history during World War II.
Led by Major Charity Adams, played by the always phenomenal Kerry Washington, these women tackled an overwhelming task: clearing a massive mail backlog for American troops overseas. Against all odds and facing discrimination, the 6888th got the job done, ensuring that thousands of soldiers received letters from home—a lifeline of hope during wartime.
In a recent interview, Tyler Perry shared how the film is rooted in his unwavering commitment to uplifting Black women and creating positivity. “It’s non-negotiable in my life and my work,” Perry said. And he’s proving it yet again with this heartfelt tribute to a group of unsung heroes.
Six Triple Eight isn’t just a movie; it’s a celebration of resilience, sisterhood, and Black excellence. For a generation that may not know this story, Perry and Washington are shining a light on these trailblazing women who refused to be overlooked.
So, grab your friends, family, or your favorite blanket, and stream Six Triple Eight on Netflix this Friday. Trust me, this is more than just entertainment—it’s a moment of history brought to life. You’ll be inspired, proud, and ready to cheer for these incredible women.
