The Six Triple Eight

Matt Roush says...

Tyler Perry is writer and director of a stirring historical drama that spotlights the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of Black women serving overseas during World War II. Led by a forceful Kerry Washington (Scandal) as Major Charity Adams, the women comprise the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, whose mission sounds menial but strikes at the heart of troop morale. Their assignment: to sort through airplane hangars full of undelivered mail to and from soldiers, while also combating the sexism and racism that comes with the territory. These women prove worthy of this belated salute.
