The film, which debuted at the Tribeca Festival earlier this year, explores how Barker navigated the aftermath of the tragedy, including his struggles with substance abuse and existential questions about survival. Directed by Justin Krook and Michael Dwyer, the production features contributions from fellow musicians and Barker's family members.
