Official Trailer for WHAM! 10 Days In China Released

Sony Music Vision, in association with Sony Music Entertainment UK, have revealed the trailer for WHAM! 10 Days In China, a new documentary film which discovers the whys, the hows and the legacy of the band’s landmark 1985 visit to China.

This special event will bring fans together to celebrate WHAM! and honour their everlasting global influence. The film will release in cinemas worldwide, in partnership with Event Cinema distributor Trafalgar Releasing, before being shown on BBC Two and iPlayer later this Summer. They were the first Western pop group to perform in China and, in doing so, introduced live pop music to audiences under strict guidelines at the time. It was a pivotal cultural moment for WHAM!, expanding the band’s international profile and cementing their global reach.

The film uses meticulously restored, newly digitised, and never-before-seen archive footage, alongside interviews with those who experienced the tour first-hand. It also revisits the historic moment through the eyes of the band, their team and Chinese audiences encountering Western pop culture for the first time, whilst offering a fresh perspective on China at a moment of transformation, told through the band’s journey and the voices of fans experiencing pop culture in a new way.

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.
