In 1945, amid racial segregation, the U.S. military established an all-African-American female unit. Sent overseas, these valiant women were tasked with managing postal centers, delivering letters of hope to frontline soldiers.
This narrative of the 6888th battalion is based on a true story, originally featured in the American magazine WWII History. Tyler Perry (known for works like Sistas, Family Reunion, Ruthless) has adapted this story into a screenplay and directed the film. You can catch it on Netflix starting December 20.
The film features prominent American actress Kerry Washington (known from Ray, Scandal, Django Unchained) as the commander of the 6888th postal battalion, along with Ebony Obsidian (Hunters), Milauha Jackson (Strike Back, Murder), and celebrated host Oprah Winfrey.
