A deep and riveting
documentary about gleaners--people who sift through garbage
and discard piles, sometimes by necessity but many times by
choice. It isn't just the poor and destitute who find their
food in the thrash--it's also well-educated, salaried
members of society who see gleaning as practical
environmentally conservative, and morally wise, and they
wish others would join them. Even the chef finds gleaning
for food an honorable activity, as it assures naturally- (not
warehouse-) ripened fruits and vegetables and can be
profoundly cost-effective.
