PCPS Light: WHAM!'s "Ten Days in China" and How It Helped Them MAKE IT BIG
The Cold War meets “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.” Michelle dives into WHAM!: 10 Days in China, the fascinating documentary about the duo’s historic 1985 tour behind the Iron Curtain—where bewildered teens encounter Western pop for the first time, government officials keep a VERY close eye on the dancing, and George and Andrew bring maximum hair, blazers, and cool factor to a decidedly monochrome scene.
Join us as Michelle shares her experience and what she learned when she saw the documentary during its one-night showing in movie theaters.
