Travis Barker Documentary ‘Louder Than Fear’ to Premiere This Summer

Travis Barker’s long-in-the-works documentary detailing his 2008 private plane crash will finally arrive on Hulu this summer.

The streaming service announced Wednesday that Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear, which focuses on the Blink-182 drummer’s life and career in addition to the 2008 crash, will premiere this summer, Billboard reports.

“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. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to document it and be able to share it with all of you,” Barker said at Hulu’s Get Real House event.

“This documentary started over 10 years ago and it’s been a wild, wild ride and I can’t wait to share it with the world.”

Hulu added that the documentary follows Barker as he “embarks on a raw and redemptive journey, which started after surviving a devastating plane crash that nearly took his life … beneath the spectacle of fame, the film reveals a complex man battling pain, grief, and the thin line between survival and surrender.”

Barker and his friend Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein survived a private plane crash in South Carolina on Sept. 19, 2008 that killed four people: Barker’s security guard and assistant and the plane’s two pilots. A year after the crash, Goldstein died of a prescription drug overdose.

Barker himself underwent several surgeries and skin grafts to heal from his extensive burns, and later opened up about his own prescription drug use following the crash, as well as a fear of flying that he only overcame in 2023.

Rob Mills, Walt Disney Television’s EVP of unscripted and alternative entertainment, told The Wrap of Louder Than Fear, “Travis personally called about this doc to say, ‘I want to tell this story … I was in this plane crash that I walked away from, and it fundamentally changed me.’”
