The film examines how the online storm questioned how she ever qualified for the Games, turning her into a 'polarizing figure' and one of the most-discussed athletes of the 2024 Olympics .
A key part of the controversy was a Change.org petition demanding an investigation into how Gunn was selected for the Australian Olympic team. The documentary directly addresses this petition and its role in the broader public reaction .
A distinctive feature of Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly is its first-person access to Gunn's personal life. The film provides a window into her family's reaction to the intense public scrutiny and online hate, offering a side of the story that was largely absent during the initial viral storm .
Gunn is given a platform to address critics directly and to share her own journey — from being a university lecturer and academic with a passion for breaking to representing Australia on the world's biggest sporting stage .
The documentary is directed by the award-winning Chapman Way and Maclain Way, the filmmaking duo behind the Untold series. It is produced by Stardust Frames Production and Warner Bros. International Television Production Australia .
