Overview
- Hulu released the official trailer this week and confirmed Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear will debut on August 13 on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ internationally.
- The trailer foregrounds Barker’s account of the September 2008 Learjet crash that killed several people and left him with burns on about 65% of his body requiring roughly 27 surgeries.
- The film features new interviews with Barker, his Blink-182 bandmates Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge, wife Kourtney Kardashian, and musicians including Questlove and Tommy Lee, and is directed by Justin Krook and Michael Dwyer.
- It explores Barker’s post-crash struggles with survivor’s guilt and prescription painkiller abuse, including a scene in the trailer where he says a security guard once watched him sleep to ensure he was breathing.
- The documentary had a Tribeca Festival premiere in June and its wide release on Hulu and Disney+ will extend Barker’s story into broader discussions about musician memoirs, recovery and family life.
