Documentary release and core focus
The 90-minute film “Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear” streams globally on Disney+ (U.S. Hulu) on August 13. Co-directed by Justin Krook and Michael Dwyer, it follows Barker from 2017 to 2026, weaving three threads: his rise with Blink-182, the aftermath of the 2008 Learjet crash, and intimate family moments—including his son Landon’s offer to appear on *The Voice* and his wife Kourtney Kardashian’s miscarriage.
Background: 2008 crash and career milestones
In 2008, Barker and DJ AM survived a private-flight crash that killed four passengers. Barker suffered third-degree burns on 65 % of his body, spent six months in a burn centre and underwent roughly 30 surgeries. He later said the ordeal ended his prescription-drug abuse and allowed him to rejoin Blink-182, which topped the Billboard 200 with *California* (2016) and continued his cross-genre collaborations.
Family and personal struggles highlighted
The documentary also explores Barker’s blended family. His 22-year-old son Landon, an emerging singer-songwriter, received an invitation to *The Voice*. In a Popcast interview, Barker urged his son to consider authenticity over rapid exposure, adding there is “no rush” for Landon to release music.
