Netflixs Raygun doc trailer looks to breakdance through the viral storm

Two years after Australian Olympic breakdancer Rachael "Raygun" Gunn made waves with her performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Netflix's documentary Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly sets out to address critics and chronicle her viral rise. Gunn, who earned zero points from the judges, quickly became the target of online hate and accusations regarding her pathway to the Olympic stage.

In the trailer, Gunn remarks, "There was this frenzy. It was a growing monster," as the tone of memes shifted from funny to critical. While Netflix's YouTube video comments suggest this scrutiny is far from over, it remains to be seen how the film, directed by Chapman Way and Maclain Way, will address these issues. Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly premieres on Netflix on September 1.
