The documentary will reportedly trace Haliey Welch's journey, who became a social media phenomenon despite having no prior presence online. Her meteoric rise will be chronicled in the documentary, which, it seems, not many fans are pumped about.

Due to the relatively trivial nature of the topic, the announcement of the Hawk Tuah Girl documentary has been met with skepticism and negativity from fans across the world, who made their feelings clear on social media platforms like X.

Many others chimed in to state their opinions.

"Imagine going from producing such serious titles about murder and s*x trafficking to TikTok street interview spit-on-that-thang fame."- another user wrote, referring to the studio's great work before this announcement.
"Is this necessary? I’m leaning no. Like a hard no. 5 minutes of fame doesn’t equate to documentary less than a year after said incident."- another user added.

"What a waste of time and resources"- another user said.
"Now there’s a waste of film and time we’ll never get back"- another user added.

The Hawk Tuah Girl documentary will have to really be worth something to change this negative view towards it.
