The Six Triple Eight Movie
The Six Triple Eight (2hrs) 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. Eight hundred and fifty-five join the war effort to address a three-year mail backlog. Despite discrimination and war-torn conditions, they sort over seventeen million pieces of mail ahead of schedule. The historic Six Triple Eight – also known as the U.S. Army's 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion- is the largest group of Black servicewomen to serve overseas during World War II. These remarkable women shattered barriers and played a pivotal role in ensuring that mail reached our American troops. Written & Directed by Tyler Perry.
