Just finished watching #TheSixTripleEight and Y'ALL
Granted, I am well known for crying at movies.
But DAMN
I started during the opening scene, and the end credits just finished rolling and I haven't stopped yet.
The 688th was the only all-Black battalion of the US Women's Army Corps sent to Europe during WWII. In Birmingham, England, they were given 6 months to deliver 17 million pieces of backlogged mail to soldiers at the front. They did it in less than 90 days.

Two powerful World War II films now on Netflix
There are two outstanding movies about very divergent aspects of World War II currently available to watch on Netflix — Number 24 and The Six Triple Eight.
Source: rogertebert.com Source: impawards.comNumber 24 is a Norwegian film that is both dubbed and subtitled in English, which painfully depicts the moral and ethical dilemmas that arise from warfare. It follows the accounts of a highly decorated Norwegian resistance fighter (Gunnar Sønsteby) both during the war itself and many years later as he is describing his decisions and his unit’s actions to college students as a guest lecturer.
Source: spikytv.comThe film is extremely well done and will leave viewers examining their own inner quandaries of how they would have handled such situations in the fog of war. Without revealing too many details, the film is particularly poignant when his unit’s lethal actions against fellow Norwegians who collaborated with Germany are discussed with the students.
_______
The Six Triple Eight is a triumphant film featuring an all-star cast, about the only black Women’s Army Corp (WAC) unit, the 6888, to be deployed to Europe during World War II. The extent of racism and bigotry directed towards these soldiers by their fellow Americans, including by their superior officers is simply appalling.
Source: imdb.comKerry Washington is outstanding as the Major overseeing this unit as they train and then are deployed to resolve a seemingly unsolvable task with minimal help and limited time. Sadly, the film also reminds the viewer of how far the United States has yet to go to truly fulfill it’s heralded promises to all Americans.
Both movies are highly recommended and neither is particularly long (under two hours each).
