B Girl Raygun is getting her own Netflix documentary, and the internet’s most infamous Olympic moment is about to get the full treatment.
Netflix announced that “Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly” will premiere September 1, 2026, diving deep into how a 36-year-old Australian university lecturer became the most memed breakdancer in Olympic history.
The documentary, directed by Chapman and Maclain Way, explores the chaos that erupted when Raygun took the stage at the 2024 Paris Olympics wearing a green tracksuit and performed moves resembling kangaroo-hopping and snake-writhing, scoring zero points across all three battles.
What made this moment so brutal wasn’t just the performance itself, but what came after.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the documentary will examine how an avalanche of memes, conspiracy theories, and misinformation flooded the internet overnight, with people questioning how she even qualified for the Olympics in the first place.
The backlash wasn’t just online mockery either.
The Australian breakdancing community largely rejected her as a representation of their culture, with accusations of cultural appropriation flying because a white Australian was seen as mocking breaking, which has deep roots in American Hip-Hop culture and Black artistic expression.
Raygun herself addressed the fallout, saying the hate she received was “devastating” and that she felt responsible for the backlash the Australian breaking community experienced.
She later apologized to the entire breaking community for the negative reactions that followed her viral performance, acknowledging that her moment had become something much bigger than just one person’s bad day at the Olympics.
The documentary promises to tell her side of the story, exploring how she got selected, what was going through her head during those three battles, and how she’s moved forward since becoming an international punchline.
The Way brothers have built their reputation on telling complex stories about athletes and public figures caught in impossible situations, and Raygun’s story definitely qualifies.
The film will air alongside documentaries about Vince Young and Mr. T as part of Netflix’s “Untold” series revival.
