Scared to Debt! Film Screening & Panel Discussion with Filmmaker
Scared to Debt!
Film Screening & Panel Discussion with Filmmaker
[Note: film can be viewed anytime between January 27th-31st!]
Currently, 45 million borrowers are saddled with close to $1.9 trillion in federal student loan debt in the United States. The Biden Administration has extended the CARES ACT payment pause until May 1st, 2022. Many borrowers perceive the decision as kicking the can down the road. They remain victims of predatory loan practices within a corrupt system that profits while increasing their debt far beyond their ability to pay it.
View the award-winning Sallie Mae Not documentary, episode one of the Scared to Debt documentary film by Michael Camoin, and join him and others for a panel discussion to learn the chilling reality of student loan corruption in America and options to confront it effectively.
Panelists:
- Michael J. Camoin, Filmmaker: Scared to Debt: America's Student Loan Scam
- Alan Collinge, Founder: StudentLoanJustice.Org
- Reggie Harris: American singer/songwriter (pending)
- Heather Taylor, International Chapter Leader and Social Media Manager: StudentLoanJustice.Org
