Writer/Director Tyler Perry takes a step up as a versatile filmmaker in bringing Netflix's inspiring WWII-set true story, The Six Triple Eight to the screen to tell the largely untold story of the Women's Army Corps Unit Of Color and their heroic and important achievement during the war in Europe in 1945.

"The Six Triple Eight" is a film directed by Tyler Perry that tells the true story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-Black, all-female unit of the U.S. Army during World War II. The movie, starring Kerry Washington, focuses on their mission to sort through a massive backlog of undelivered mail, crucial for maintaining the morale of soldiers overseas. Despite facing racism and sexism, the battalion, led by Major Charity Adams, managed to sort over 17 million pieces of mail in three months, far surpassing expectations. The film highlights their resilience, the challenges they overcame, and their significant contribution to the war effort, which went largely unrecognized until recent years. The review praises the film for its stirring narrative, the exceptional ensemble cast, and its tribute to these unsung heroines, noting that while it might not be Perry's most polished work, it effectively honors the legacy of the 6888th.
