The movie is based on an all-Black and all-female battalion in World War II called the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion.

Netflix's Tudum adds: "The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion contributed to the war effort in a unique way: by sorting through a three-year backlog of mail (17 million pieces of it!) that hadn’t been delivered to American soldiers far from home.

"In the face of discrimination and a vast, unfamiliar country divided by global conflict, these 855 women brought hope to the front lines.

"Given six months to complete the task, the 6888th accomplished their mission in less than 90 days, providing morale when the United States needed it most."

The film - titled The Six Triple Eight - was released in select cinemas on December 6, 2024 before being released onto Netflix on December 20 and it hasn't taken long for viewers to flock to social media to weigh in.
