Two years after her controversial performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Australian breakdancer Rachael “Raygun” Gunn is set to tell her story in an upcoming Netflix documentary. Her routine featuring kangaroo-inspired movements earned zero points from judges and quickly became the subject of widespread internet mockery and criticism.
The streaming platform’s new film, titled “Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly,” offers Gunn an opportunity to respond to her detractors and document the experience of becoming an overnight viral sensation. The documentary explores how her Olympic appearance transformed into a phenomenon marked by intense online backlash and various allegations regarding her path to competing at the Games. Directors Chapman Way and Maclain Way helm the project.
In trailer footage, Gunn reflects on the rapid escalation of negative attention. “There was this frenzy. It was a growing monster,” she explains, noting that while some humor emerged initially, “the tone started to change.” The response to the trailer on Netflix’s YouTube channel suggests public interest in the subject matter remains high and contentious.
“Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly” premieres on Netflix on September 1st.
