The Doco

ONEFOUR: Against All Odds traces the meteoric rise of Australia's first drill rap stars, defiant in the face of police efforts to stop them from performing. A modern redemption story that reveals a different side of Australian culture and makes audiences feel seen and understood.

The film features interviews from both sides of the conflict, including professors of Social Work and Criminology; the crime editor of The Daily Telegraph; Commanders of Raptor Squad, community leaders, and the group and family members.

The filmmakers worked meticulously with community groups on cultural sensitivity, and a vigorous fact-checking process by the producers and the Netflix creative and legal teams ensured accuracy and balance.

Dubbed “A cautionary tale for those of us opposed to censorship and discriminatory police powers” (Margret Pomeranz), the film sparked national conversation around censorship, police powers and what it means to be Australian. It launched TikTok trends with tens of millions of views, reached #2 on Netflix in Australia, and has been integrated into Law syllabuses at Australian universities. Most importantly, ONEFOUR: Against All Odds triggered a reckoning with police powers in NSW, and was received by Mount Druitt and Pasifika communities with pride.
