Wind of Change

Wind of Change follows the Scorpions from Hanover on their journey from a divided Germany to the international rock scene of the 1980s. Singer Klaus Meine (Ludwig Trepte) , guitarist Rudolf Schenker (Alexander Dreymon) , Matthias Jabs (Ed Speleers) , and drummer Herman Rarebell (Luke Brandon Field) focus on English-language songs and hope to perform behind the Iron Curtain as well. Manager Doc McGhee (Dominic West) accompanies their rise to fame, while their friend Andrej (David Kross) brings the political division of Europe to life through his personal experiences. Director Alex Ranarivelo weaves together the band's history, rock music, and the Cold War with the Scorpions' performances in the Soviet Union. The film centers on the creation of "Wind of Change," the song that became a symbol of the end of the Cold War.
