Janet, a retired Spanish teacher has been practicing Freeganism for the past 15 years. Sharing resources, reducing the impact of consumption, recovering waste are just some of the methods practiced by Freegans. Through these practices, Freegans aim to gain independence from the profit driven economy where revenue is valued over the environment, human and animal rights. The film follows Janet while dumpster diving alone in the streets of New York City or accompanied by fellow Freegans scavenging for their next meal or other basic life necessity. Janet's family and friends as well as strangers view her life choices with judgement and lack understanding of her alternative way to help the world we live in.
