A piece of pop history in Braunschweig

WHAM! was one of the most influential pop acts of the Western world in the 1980s. The film takes a retrospective look at a journey that went far beyond music: The band was the first Western pop group to perform in China, opening a window between East and West. This tension makes the evening at the cinema so appealing - between nostalgia, cultural friction, and the special charm of restored film material.
