A heartfelt historical drama about an all-Black, all-women battalion overcoming systemic racism and impossible odds to restore human connection during wartime.
During World War II, the US Army's only all-Black, all-women battalion takes on an impossible mission: sorting through a three-year backlog of 17 million pieces of mail that hadn't been delivered to American soldiers and finish within six months.
