The Real Six Triple Eight

Featuring authentic images and footage of real-life heroes, this documentary tells the inspiring true story of Major Charity Adams and the 6888th Battalion. These trailblazing women not only delivered 17 million letters to soldiers on the frontlines of World War II but also broke barriers of race and gender in an era of deep prejudice.

Alongside their incredible journey, we explore what happened to Major Charity Adams and the women of the 6888th Battalion after the war, the bravery of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team—an all-Japanese-American unit and the most decorated in the war—and the profound impact of mail in sustaining morale on the battlefield.

A tribute to resilience, courage, and unsung heroes whose legacy continues to inspire.
