It’s been two years since Australian Olympic breakdancer Rachael “Raygun” Gunn gained international attention with her kangaroo-hopping performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Now, Netflix‘s upcoming documentary Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly gives Gunn a platform to address critics and chronicle going viral after her maligned, highly-memed routine won zero points from Olympic judges. Almost overnight, the breakdancer became the subject of a wave of online hate, while accusations were made around Gunn’s rise to the Olympic stage.
“There was this frenzy. It was a growing monster,” Gunn says in the trailer. “Some of the memes were funny. Then the tone started to change.”
Judging by the comments on Netflix’s YouTube video and social shares, such speculation is far from over. It remains to be seen how Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly, directed by Chapman Way and Maclain Way, will handle such matters.
Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly is streaming on Netflix Sept. 1.
