Synopsis

A documentary of the British band Wham!’s China visit in 1985, when this New Wave band was among the earliest Western pop groups to perform in the PRC. Next to a debatable impact on music culture in China, the tour and this documentary were part of Wham!’s successful publicity campaign to break the British group in the United States. The shooting and editing of the film not only presents the different atmosphere between the China’s north and south, but also reflects the freshness from an outside observer when confronted with an unknown and mysterious world.
