“The film tells the inspiring true story of the incredible and brave women of World War II's only all-black, all-female battalion,” the synopsis states. “These 855 women joined the war effort not knowing exactly what they would be doing, but they were quickly given the mission of a lifetime: sorting and clearing the three-year backlog of undelivered mail. A herculean task that most thought impossible, the women not only accomplished it, but completed it in half the time they had. Despite discrimination, an unfamiliar land, and a war-torn country, they persevered and sorted over 17 million pieces of mail, reuniting American soldiers with their families and loved ones back home. The motto that kept them going each day was one they invented themselves: 'No mail, low morale.' The women of the 6888 didn't just deliver mail, they brought hope.”
