The film tells the untold tale of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only all-Black, all-female unit to serve overseas during WWII, who tackled a massive backlog of mail to boost morale.
Perry's goal is for the movie to serve as a teachable moment, shedding light on the often overlooked contributions of Black women in the war effort and inspiring audiences to learn more about their critical role.
