The Gleaners and I (2000)

Meandering is OK if that's your goal, and I'm glad I stuck through this artsy documentary because the meditative setting and tone were really lovely, and the theme (reusing garbage in general, and saving food from waste in particular) is one that's resonated with me my whole life.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
