“People wanted to move… they just didn’t know how to… We were experiencing a whole new world.” 🕺 Trafalgar Releasing has unveiled the official trailer for a music history documentary film titled WHAM! 10 Days In China, hitting theaters worldwide in July this summer. This exciting new film dives back into a specific event to complement the WHAM! doc available on Netflix already. 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 were a cultural milestone – East meets West, music meets politics.
