In the heart of World War II, a group of African American women embarks on a little-recognized mission that will change the course of history. These heroines, part of the 6888th Postal Battalion, face not only the complexities of their work, which involves ensuring the delivery of mail to American forces in Europe, but also the racial and gender discrimination that defines their time.
Against a backdrop of courage, friendship, and resilience, we follow Sergeant Major Charity Adams as she leads these women in the midst of a hostile environment. As the war progresses, tensions rise, and the stress of isolation becomes unbearable. Yet, they find strength in unity and mutual support, turning their team into a family. The correspondence they handle represents not only letters of love and hope but also becomes a symbol of their struggle for recognition and value.
In this journey, challenges are constant: from a lack of resources to the skepticism of their superiors. However, with ingenuity and determination, they achieve an impressive record in mail handling. With a powerful female cast, the film highlights the forgotten history of these women who were pioneers in a world that often overlooked them. In the end, their legacy will endure, reminding us that stories of bravery and sacrifice can change the course of history, even if they remain in the shadows for a long time.
