Wind of Change

Synopsis

Wind of Change, is the electrifying biopic of the legendary rock band the Scorpions, whose songs transcended borders, bridged political divides, and became an anthem for a generation at a defining moment in history.

Directed by Alex Ranarivelo, Wind of Change stars Dominic West (The Crown), Alexander Dreymon (The Last Kingdom), Ludwig Trepte (Generation War), Ed Speleers (You), David Kross (The Reader) and Luke Brandon Field (Interview with the Vampire, Jojo Rabbit).

The film chronicles the longest-running and most successful lineup of the Scorpions, including guitarist Rudolf Schenker, played by Dreymon; Klaus Meine, played by Trepte; Matthias Jabs, played by Speleers; and drummer Herman Rarebell, played by Field. West portrays Doc McGhee, the band’s renowned music manager, while Kross plays Andrej, the Scorpions’ imprisoned friend on the other side of the Berlin Wall.

United by their passion for music and a desire to inspire change through their powerful sound and meaningful lyrics, the Scorpions helped bridge the divide between East and West. At the heart of the film is their iconic anthem “Wind of Change,” which became a defining soundtrack to the end of the Cold War, symbolizing hope, peace and unity. The film also features the band’s enduring hits, including “Rock You Like a Hurricane” and “Still Loving You.”
