Default: the Student Loan Documentary chronicles the stories of
borrowers from different backgrounds affected by the student lending
industry and their struggles to change the system. No matter when their
loans were taken, many borrowers find themselves in a paralyzing

and no recourse to the law. The consequences are dire, with stories of
borrowers in financial and emotional ruin.
