Netflix releases documentary on Olympic breakdancer Rachael Gunn
Netflix has released a new documentary titled ‘Untold: Raygun – Breaking Badly’, which examines the experience of Australian breakdancer Rachael Gunn, known as Raygun, following the 2024 Paris Olympics. The film explores her journey from her preparation with coach and husband Samuel Free to her performance that became a global viral sensation.
The documentary addresses the intense online harassment and conspiracy theories that followed her competition, clarifying that she earned her Olympic qualification legitimately despite the lack of high-level breaking infrastructure in Australia. While some critics praise the film's editing, others have criticized it for not sufficiently questioning the legitimacy of her qualification. Gunn announced her retirement from high-level competition in November 2024.
