The NOW on PBS website did not have the streaming video online yet, but it should appear over the weekend.
Here is the description of this special:
"According to the Department of Education, the average amount of undergraduate student debt in this country is now more than $22,000. And sudden changes in lenders' terms and rates can quickly turn a personal debt into a financial sinkhole, grounding the dreams of many college graduates even before they've started.
This week, NOW follows the story of a single mother in Baltimore trying to dig herself out of more than $70,000 student loan debt. While issues of personal responsibility are debated, there's no question the high price of higher education is creating an ocean of student loan debt for people who can least afford it.
How are the 70 million Americans with student debt frustrating America's economic recovery?"
It was nice to see the following links provided to viewers to help them make more informed decisions about private student loans:
