In this clip from "DEFAULT: The Student Loan Documentary,", Ivonne Quiroz is shown occupying her graduation at San Francisco State University, wearing a ball and chain around her ankle to signify the student debt that will follow her throughout most of her life. "I owe about $21,000, and I believe education is a right," she says.
