Netflix has unveiled a trailer for Tyler Perry's original war drama "The Six Triple Eight," starring Kerry Washington.

According to the official logline, "'The Six Triple Eight' is inspired by the first and only Women's Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII. Given an extraordinary mission and united in their determination, these unsung heroes brought hope and shattered barriers."

Washington plays Major Charity Adams, who in the trailer leads a battalion of female soldiers and gives them some stern words of encouragement before they begin their training. "I'll give you my best, and you'll give me yours. A lot of people don't want us to succeed. We have the most to prove," she barks. "Welcome to the Women's Army Corp."
