The Six Triple Eight was a wonderful movie and i believe everyone should take the time and watch it! I’m not biggest Tyler Perry fan but i will give him his props becuase this was wonderfully directly while also being extremely informative on what it was like to be in the army as a black women back in the day.

Our first teaser for the Six Triple Eight movie was included in Netflix's 2024 upcoming releases promo!!
For those who don't know, the Six Triple Eight is about the 6888th Central Postal Battalion which was the all POC regiment of the Women's Army Corps during World War II. They served in England sorting through the massive backlog of mail that had accumulated. Receiving mail from home was such an important morale boost for the men and high morale wins wars so sorting this mail was a priority. It was a nearly impossible task that the Army predicted would take them years to accomplish but they completed the task in half the time, processing 17 million pieces of mail and sending them to soldiers awaiting news from home. They worked in cold, dirty, dark rat infested aircraft hangars with broken windows. They were so good at their work that the unit was sent to several other areas to do the same thing. The unit was active from 1945 to 1946 and consisted of 855 women under the Command of Major Charity Adams, Captains Mary F. Kearney and Bernice G. Henderson. Their nickname was “Six-Triple Eight" and their motto was “No Mail, Low Morale."
I'm so excited for this film, you have no idea. An entire movie completely focused on telling the story of women. And not just women, black women! It's so exciting! And it looks fantastic just from this short teaser. I know the historical consultant of the show personally and she knows WAC history better than anyone and it definitely shows. The uniforms are pretty perfect. The only mistake I've seen so far, which is in a behind the scenes photo, is the utility bag (their purse) is on the wrong side. But that's a nit picky complaint from me I can overlook. But even the shots are so good!! They're recreating at least one original image I can think of. Which is so cool. God I'm so excited!!!!
Here are some original images of the 6888

I’m reading the wicked screenplay and found where this production still came from. They filmed it all so I think the footage might be repurposed in part 2. It’s a montage of several scenes so I think some of might be used for flashbacks. I do wish we got to see the development of their friendship and the five of them hanging out once they’d become a friendship group.
