The Six Triple Eight

'The Six Triple Eight' is a film inspired by the first and only group of African American women in the Army who fought in World War II. Despite racism, machismo, and the horrible, exhausting working conditions, a group of women committed to serving their country with honor and excellence. These heroines, who were ignored and united by their determination, were entrusted with a special mission that ultimately brought hope and broke down a series of barriers.
