The release date for Travis Barker's new documentary, Louder Than Fear, has been confirmed. The 90-minute film will receive its world premiere on Saturday June 13 at Spring Studios in New York as part of this year's Tribeca Festival, with Barker taking part in a post-screening conversation.
The documentary is scheduled to arrive digitally on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the US on August 13, and via Disney+ globally. Directed by Justin Krook and Michael Dwyer, the film explores the Blink-182 drummer's life and career, including the 2008 plane crash that almost claimed his life, and the 'raw and redemptive journey' he embarked on afterwards.
According to an official description, Louder Than Fear finds Barker 'battling pain, grief and the thin line between survival and surrender'. The documentary features appearances from collaborators, cultural icons and those closest to the musician. 'This is the story of the man behind the tattoos. A tribute to those who keep going when the music almost stops,' the description adds.
The documentary was produced by Media Weaver Entertainment, with Matthew Weaver and Nick Stern serving as co-producers, and Lawrence Vavra and John Janick as executive producers. Barker said in a statement: 'It's an unfiltered look at my journey after a life-changing experience and also spotlights the amazing people I have in my life who carried me through it.' He added: 'This documentary started over 10 years ago and it's been a wild, wild ride.'
Barker suffered third-degree burns on 65 per cent of his body and spent three months in hospital after the accident. He has previously spoken about the subsequent anxiety and depression, and credited the crash with helping him quit prescription drugs. He has since overcome his fear of flying, taking his first flight in 13 years in 2021 with his now-wife Kourtney Kardashian. More recently, he joined Clipse on stage at Coachella and worked on the theme song for the show Rooster with R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe, Andrew Watt and Josh Klinghoffer.
