Wham! put the boom boom into our hearts, and now a new documentary is charting their journey from teenage school friends to global superstars. WHAM! has unprecedented access to both George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley’s personal archives with never before seen footage and never before heard interviews.

“In 1982, the best of friends and still teenagers - George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley as WHAM! set out to conquer the world,” the official synopsis says. “By June of 1986 they played their very last gig at Wembley Stadium having done exactly that. Now for the very first time, told in their own words, the amazing story of how in four years they dominated the charts around the world with timeless and classic pop songs. Hit after hit - 'Club Tropicana,' 'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go,' 'Freedom,' 'I’m Your Man' and of course 'Last Christmas.' Their time in the spotlight was white-hot, becoming the very first western pop act to play in China. It was a time that both encapsulated and epitomized not just their youth, but also those of the many millions of fans that adored them. With unprecedented access to both George and Andrew’s personal archive including remarkable and never-before-seen footage, alongside rare, candid and previously unheard interviews, WHAM! charts their incredible journey from school friends to superstars.”
