The preview centers on Barker’s account of the 2008 plane crash, his subsequent addiction and his effort to rebuild family life and career.

  • The film compiles new interviews with Barker, his Blink-182 bandmates, peers including Questlove and Tommy Lee, and family members who discuss his recovery and parenting.
  • Barker recounts a period of heavy prescription-pill use and says he had a security guard whose job was to watch him sleep to make sure he was breathing.

  • The decade-in-the-making film will stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ with a scheduled premiere on Aug. 13, and the trailer release has brought renewed public attention to Barker’s story.
