Ain't in It for My Health: A Film About Levon Helm
Beginning with a shot of a tour bus warming its engine in the silence of an empty lot, this melancholy, personal portrait of music great Levon Helm conveys the feeling of a lifetime spent on the road. Helm, a founding member of The Band, is at home in Woodstock, working on his first studio album in 25 years in Jacob Hatley's unusually intimate documentary. He's the ultimate survivor, having conquered drugs, poverty, The Band's brutal separation, and a bout with throat cancer-yet, as the title implies, he wasn't in it for his health.
