The Six Triple Eight

The Six Triple Eight tells the incredible true story of WW2’s first and only unit of women of colour.  

Deployed to Europe in 1945, the 6888th battalion are tasked with delivering a three-year backlog of 17 million pieces of mail to US soldiers, and they have just six months to do it. 

Despite facing racism and sexism – and gruelling working conditions – they were committed to serving their country with honour and distinction. Given an extraordinary mission and united in their determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers.
