Why do food producers throw so much away when people go hungry? Agnès Varda, gleaner of images, follows other gleaners, people who collect what other people throw away, food and junk. This thought-provoking social and poetic documentary has been praised at many festivals and was voted the best documentary of 2001 by the National Society of Film Critics.
