2009 in numbers:
• Bankers paying themselves $140 billion in bonuses.
• U.S. economy grew at to $22 billion in actual growth.
• The bankers, after causing the greatest economic calamity since the Great Depression, are rewarded with six times the growth accomplished so far in the much heralded "economic recovery."
• Seven million families face foreclosure and 25 million Americans can't find full time work.

"Pour" a film by Geoff Ryan
Justin, a recently returned Iraq War veteran, lives in his car while struggling to make ends meet. Battling poverty, psychological turmoil and societal isolation he holds on to his pride for survival.
Through the film we hope to promote awareness of the homeless veteran crisis in America. And through this blog we want to inform and encourage people to help those in need who have served our country with pride. As the character Paul says to Justin in the film, "It's not charity, it's thanks."
