Overview
- Hulu released the first trailer on Thursday, Aug. 6, and confirmed the documentary Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear will stream on Aug. 13 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
- Directors Justin Krook and Michael Dwyer assembled interviews with Barker's Blink-182 bandmates and prominent musicians including Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, Questlove, Tommy Lee, Tim Armstrong and the late Taylor Hawkins.
- The trailer recounts the September 2008 Learjet crash that killed Barker’s assistant and bodyguard, shows Barker saying he burned about 65% of his body and underwent 27 surgeries, and includes his on-camera reflections about survivor’s guilt.
- Archival home footage and family scenes, reportedly including a Walt Disney World clip, anchor the film’s focus on Barker’s efforts to rebuild family life and become a more present father with Kourtney Kardashian and his children.
- The decade-long project traces Barker’s rise to fame, struggles with prescription-pill abuse, and long recovery, and its high-profile contributors underscore his influence across rock and alternative music while likely renewing public conversation about trauma and recovery in artists.
