WHAM! Coming to Netflix 5 July!
June 16, 2023
In 1982, the best of friends and still teenagers George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley as WHAM! set out to conquer the world.
On June 28, 1986, they performed together as WHAM! for the last time, 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.
WHAM! is a feature length documentary that captures this magical time, from director Chris Smith (FYRE) and producers John Battsek (Searching for Sugarman) and Simon Halfon (Supersonic). 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.
WHAM!, the new documentary film charting the global rise of pop sensations George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, told in their own words. Coming to Netflix 5 July!
