During World War II, the US Army's only all-Black, all-women battalion takes on an impossible mission: sorting through a three-year backlog of 17 million pieces of mail that hadn't been delivered to American soldiers and finish within six months.

The Six Triple Eight recounts an important true story with a steely Kerry Washington at command, but its treacly presentation unfortunately doesn't let these inspiring events speak for themselves.

'The Six Triple Eight' is a compelling film highlighting the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion's inspiring story. Kerry Washington's performance and emotional depth are praised, yet historical inaccuracies and over-dramatization are criticized. The film's focus on racial themes is both impactful and heavy-handed. Despite flaws, it sheds light on an overlooked historical chapter, with portrayals of racism and sexism eliciting mixed reactions. Pacing and execution are noted areas for improvement.
