Six Triple Eight (2024) is an American war drama film directed by Tyler Perry, based on a true story from World War II. The movie highlights the heroic efforts of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only all-Black, all-female unit in the Women's Army Corps, who were tasked with sorting a massive backlog of undelivered mail to boost the morale of American soldiers overseas. Despite facing racial discrimination and the challenges of a war-torn environment, these 855 women managed to process over 17 million pieces of mail, proving essential to the war effort. The film features a star-studded cast, including Kerry Washington as Major Charity Adams, alongside Susan Sarandon, Oprah Winfrey, and Sam Waterston. Six Triple Eight is set to stream on Netflix, bringing to light an inspiring yet often overlooked chapter of American history.
