Plot summary
The price of college in the United States has climbed faster than the cost of any other service, and student borrowing has passed a trillion dollars. The film weighs what a degree is worth in that market. It tours community colleges, four year universities, vocational schools, online courses and less traditional programs. It visits Harvard as well as public and private colleges in financial difficulty, and it looks at education startups in Silicon Valley. Its argument is that tuition has reached a breaking point.
