Wham 10 Days In China

In 1985, WHAM! were the first Western pop group to perform in communist China. George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley’s two 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 – and it worked. The film revisits this historic moment through the eyes of the band, their team and Chinese audiences encountering Western 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.
