Synopsis: During the height of the conflict in World War II circa 1943, difficulties in the war led to a change in priorities, and much of the mail previously reaching soldiers on the front lines has been halted. As warehouses begin to overflow with unfulfilled deliveries, soldiers’ hopes are dashed as they lose contact with their families back home. To fix this problem, the 6888th Battalion the Women’s Army Corps’ all-Black battalion including over 800 female soldiers is sent to tackle the impossible challenge of sorting years’ worth of backlogged mail. Even as military higher-ups hope to see the plan fail, the Six Triple Eight are determined to deliver hope to soldiers and families across the world.
Release Date: December 20, 2024 (USA) | Length: 127 min | Genre: Drama, History, War | MPAA Rating: Rated PG-13 for language including racial slurs, thematic material and some war violence. | Note(s): Nicole Avant, Angi Bones, Tyler Perry, Tony Strickland and Kerry Washington are producers on this project. Nakiyah Wright and Camron Chapman were in the original cast list but not in the finale one. I wasn’t able to identify Kenritia Meadows, Toni-Ann Robertson, Selina Johnson or Kentavious Evans. Not sure if the Shaakirah Bradshaw in this film is the same as the choreographer.
