Is this historical fiction? What kind of filler can they put in besides sorting mail that takes up at least 1-1/2 hours of run time? They're going to have to use personal stories and embellish a little.

they were quickly given the mission of a lifetime: sort through and fix the three-year backlog of undelivered mail. A herculean task, that most thought to be impossible, the women not only succeeded but did it in half the time they were given.

This sounds really amazing. Too good to be true.

I'm sure they won the war despite racism.

Turns out there actually was such a batallion. I'm sure they'll remain very accurate to the source material.
