Pepi Sonuga, Jay Reeves, Jeanté Godlock, Moriah Brown, Baadja-Lyne Odums, Gregg Sulkin and Dean Norris will also be on screen in the flick.

The film is based on an article by Kevin M. Hymel, and was published in WWII History Magazine by Sovereign Media.

The article told the story of “the only all-Black, all-female World War II Battalion” which consisted of “855 women joined the war effort with little knowledge of what exactly they would be doing, but were quickly given the mission of a lifetime: sorting through and fixing a three-year backlog of undelivered mail.”

Just recently, Kerry starred in The School of Good and Evil. Find out if there will be a sequel to it.
