Wham! 10 Days In China

WHAM! 10 Days In China, is a feature-length documentary produced by Supercollider and was released in cinemas worldwide.

In 1985, George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley made history when WHAM! became the first Western pop group to perform in China. Their two concerts in Beijing and Guangzhou introduced live Western pop to Chinese audiences and marked a turning point for the band.

Forty years later, WHAM! 10 Days In China revisits this historic moment through meticulously restored, newly digitised and never-before-seen archive footage, alongside interviews with those who experienced the tour firsthand.

Told through the perspectives of the band, their touring team and Chinese audiences encountering Western pop culture for the first time, the film offers a fresh perspective on China at a moment of transformation.

It is the untold story of a singular moment when East met West, pop met politics and two young stars came of age on the world stage.
