Netflix Documentary Exposes Raygun’s Olympic Cheating Scandal as Dad’s Reaction Says It All
The film revisits Gunn’s zero-score Olympic routine and the 55,000-signature petition that questioned how she made Australia’s breakdancing team.
On Wednesday, Netflix unveiled the trailer for Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly, which documents the polarizing 2024 Paris Olympics performance by Australian breakdancer Rachael 'Raygun' Gunn.
Following her viral appearance, Gunn faced intense online backlash and conspiracy theories questioning her Olympic selection, though the Australian Olympic Committee confirmed her qualification through a transparent process.
The documentary chronicles Gunn's pre-Games anxieties and her subsequent retirement from competitive breakdancing three months after the Olympics, as the former university lecturer struggled with online scrutiny.
Producers Chapman Way and Maclain Way designed the film to expose the truth behind the viral performance while addressing the dangers of large-scale social media scrutiny.
Premiering on Netflix Sept. 1, the film provides Gunn a platform to share her story as she transitions into a new career as a speaker and performer.
