Movie #3345 ........................."The Six Triple Eight" (Netflix)

 Movie #3345 "The Six Triple Eight" (Netflix)  This was a very emotional watch for me and especially inspiring by the end of the ordeal.  To know this happened and yet it has not come to our attention until now makes it even more impotent to put this film on your list to watch in the coming year.  Kerry Washington and crew did a slam bang job with the drama, too, esp. in the high point.  There were a  couple of clunker scenes/lines in it, and I would have wanted to know even more about the individual girls that Tyler Perry covered briefly, but I can understand you can put in just so much.  I give this a hands down 4.  Good watch!  Little known story until in the hands of someone like Tyler Perry.

"THE SIX TRIPLE EIGHT"    NETFLIX      PG-13       2024     2 hour, 7 min

During WWII, 855 women joined the fight to fix the three-year backlog of undelivered mail to the troops and to their families.  Faced with discrimination and a country devastated by war, they managed to sort more than 17 million pieces of mail ahead of time.  During the height of the conflict, circa 1943, difficulties in the war led to a change in priorities, and much of the mail previously reaching soldiers on the front lines had been halted.  As warehouses begin to overflow with unfulfilled deliveries, soldiers' hopes are dashed as they lose contact with their families back home.  To fix this problem, the 6888th Battalion the Women's Army Corps' all-Black battalion including over 800 female soldiers is sent to tackle the impossible challenge of sorting years' worth of backlogged mail.  Even as military higher-ups hope to see the plan fail, the Six Triple Eight are determined to deliver hope to soldiers and families across the world.
