WHAM! 10 Days in China
Advertisement
In 1985, WHAM! made history as the first Western pop act to perform in communist China.
George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley's concerts in Beijing and Guangzhou introduced live Western pop to Chinese audiences and marked a turning point for the band. For WHAM!, the tour was more than music; it was a bold move to capture American attention and launch them into global superstardom.
Now, newly remastered, this film shows China on the cusp of change, told through the band's journey and the voices of fans experiencing pop culture for the first time.
This is the untold story of WHAM! at a singular moment in history, East meets West, pop meets politics, and two young stars coming of age on the world stage.
