Kino Lorber will distribute the Ain't in it for My Health: A Film about Levon Helm documentary from director Jacob Hatley. Variety reports that Kino Lorber have planned to release the film into theaters early next year, followed by a VOD and home entertainment release in the summer. The film includes Helm who died of cancer April 2012, as well as Billy Bob Thornton, Libby Titus and Larry Campbell. In Aint in it for My Health, Levon Helm finds himself thrust into the musical spotlight for the first time in a quarter century, as a Grammy nomination and ever-growing audiences force him to confront the dark times that have haunted him since The Band's demise: throat cancer, bankruptcy, drug addiction and the tragic loss of bandmates Richard Manuel and Rick Danko. Win or lose, Levon is an artist who will not go quietly into the night.
