From Wikipedia
The Gleaners and I is a 2000 French documentary film directed by Agnès Varda that explores the subject of gleaning—historically, the gathering of farm produce left after formal harvest, here including rural-urban reclamation of disposed food and objects. The Gleaners and I was an "Official Selection" of the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, and later went on to win several major film awards.
