It's hard to resist a war drama. Especially when it is based on an incredible true story, and that is exactly what “Six Triple Eight” promises to be when it comes out soon on Netflix. We first saw the film about a month ago, and now it finally has a proper trailer.

Nearly a century after World War II, stories of quiet heroism continue to emerge and shed light on the extraordinary efforts of everyday individuals, and Netflix's upcoming war drama dives into one of those stories. It is the remarkable journey of the 6888th Central Postal Roster Battalion, the only black, all-female Army unit to serve in the war.

If you're drawn to tales of unsung heroes or crave historical dramas that explore new perspectives, “The Six Triple Eight” will be the one to watch next month on the streaming service. Here's what you need to know about the Netflix release next month.

“The Six Triple Eight” tells the remarkable true story of the 6888th Central Postal Roster Battalion, the first and only female Army unit of color to serve overseas during World War II. This pioneering unit of 855 women played a vital but often overlooked role in clearing a backlog of 17 million undeliverable letters and parcels over a three-year period for American soldiers far from home.

Deployed to Europe in February 1945, the battalion faced immense challenges, including discrimination, poor living conditions, and the emotional burden of duty. Letters from home were a lifeline for the soldiers, and many families had not heard from their loved ones for months.

Despite being housed in poorly maintained, isolated facilities with no lighting or heating, the women persevered and created their own sense of community. They established a cafeteria, a beauty salon, and even a snack bar to lift their spirits. Against all odds, Unit 6888 completed their mission in just 90 days, half the time allotted. Their incredible determination and resilience brought much-needed hope and connection to the soldiers on the front lines.

The good news--you don't have to wait long to see this new war drama. Six Triple Eight will open in select theaters on December 6, followed by distribution on Netflix on December 20, 2024.

“Six Triple Eight” is more than just a war drama. It is a deeply moving celebration of resilience and unity. The film offers a fresh perspective on World War II and highlights the courage and determination of 855 women who overcame prejudice and adversity to do the impossible. Whether you enjoy historical dramas, stories of empowerment, or simply an inspiring true story, “Six Triple Eight” is a must-see.

In the meantime, need something to watch, check out these films before they end up on Netflix later this month.

Stream “Six Triple Eight” on Netflix starting December 20.
