Billed as the first Western pop group to perform in China, WHAM!’s concerts in Beijing and Guangzhou introduced live pop music to audiences under strict guidelines at the time. The tour marked a pivotal cultural moment for WHAM!, expanding the band’s international profile and cementing their global reach.
Drawing on restored, newly digitized and never-before-seen archive footage, alongside interviews with those who experienced the tour firsthand, the film revisits this moment through the eyes of the band, their team and Chinese audiences encountering Western pop culture for the first time.
WHAM! 10 Days in China is produced by Supercollider (a Zinc Media Company) and directed by Mike Christie. It is executive produced by Krista Wegener, Ian Sharpe (for Sony Music Vision) and Tanya Shaw (for Supercollider). Sony Music Vision is the distributor in partnership with Trafalgar Releasing handling theatrical distribution, and the film is in association with Sony Music Entertainment UK and the BBC.
