Film Review – Wham! 10 Days in China

Three years ago, the documentary “Wham!” explored the formation and the raging success of the British pop duo as they managed to conquer the world in the mid-1980s. The release offered some unique information concerning the band’s inner workings, shining a light on singer George Michael’s desire to be the biggest act in music.
