About the movie
The Six Triple Eight film highlights the first all-Black female battalion that existed during World War II.

According to Netflix's Tudum:
"The Six Triple Eight tells the inspiring true story of the incredible and brave women of the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to be stationed overseas during World War II."
