The debut teaser trailer for Tyler Perry‘s The Six Triple Eight has debuted online.

The Kerry Washington-led film hits Netflix on December 20 while hitting select theaters a few weeks earlier on December 6.

The story is inspired by the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII. Despite facing racism and sexism – and grueling working conditions – they were committed to serving their country with honor and distinction. Given an extraordinary mission and united in their determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers. Written and directed by Tyler Perry, the movie stars Kerry as Major Charity Adams, the commanding officer of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion.
