This is the first four minutes of Agnes Varda's full-length documentary, "The Gleaners and I" (2000). Inspired by Realist painter Jean-François Millet's famous painting "The Gleaners [Les Glaneuses] (1857)," Varda explores contemporary practices of scavenging and recycling.
Gleaning, its mentioned in the bible, old testament, nothing shameful at all, better to glean some fresh produce than modern-day gleaners that glean cardboard, plastic containers, aluminum cans and other recycables which they cash in for fiat currency,...NOT! Better to glean grain, fruit and veggies,...thumbs up and thankin' my pal slobomotion for sharin'!! =D

This is a brilliant documentary I recommend everyone see and I really appreciate the English subtitles. I am near Paris and glean. Not too often but I do it. Wow, have I ever made some scores! You need to plan, have a cart, a friend to help you carry and then take it home and process it. It is just great and we could feed everyone here if they would get people to do this. It could be organized.

@brian8793 I moved here from the States and love it. There is plenty of sun but not much over Paris, that is true, it tends to be overcast. The weather is very changeable here and we often get scattered showers and then bright sun for a bit.

French people are interesting. Very laid back. It doesn't look like the type of place I would like to live, but that is where some of my ancestors are from.
How can people live without the sun?
