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,” reads the synopsis according to Netflix.KERRY WASHINGTON: ‘I FELT LIKE THESE WOMEN WERE WITH US IN THIS PROCESS’
The actress said that she felt the spirit of these women in the process of filming.
“I felt like these women were with us in this process. You felt their spirit all the time,” said Washington during the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival, when she sat down with The Six Triple Eight producer Nicole Avant for a talk about legacy and impact in storytelling, as per Tudum.
She also revealed that, during shoot, a local resident asked what the team was working on; when he learnt it was a film about the Six Triple Eight, he had a contribution to make.
“He pulled out a trunk and he opened it up. And it was my character Charity Adams’ actual trunk. It had her uniforms, it had seeds from her victory garden. It had letters, it had pictures. It was unbelievable,” she continued.
