"The Six Triple Eight" is based on the inspiring story of the 688th Postal Directory Battalion, the only Black U.S. Women's Army Corps. that was actually sent to Europe during World War II (if you have any trouble memorizing this historical fact, don't worry, the movie will repeat it many times, including thrice in rapid succession right before the closing credits). Their mission was to fix the broken postal service, which was preventing correspondence from reaching the soldiers' families and from reaching the soldiers themselves, which had a catastrophic impact on their morale.
They were given six months to fix the problem and got it done in 90 days (Kerry Washington mentioned this when she was on The View this week).
