Redemption est un documentaire sur les "canners" de New York, ces hommes et ces femmes qui survivent en rapportant les bouteilles et les boîtes de conserve qu'ils récupèrent sur les trottoirs, dans les poubelles et dans les immeubles. Vous les avez vus en train de fouiller les poubelles, mais vous n'avez jamais pu les rencontrer. Ce film est un regard inattendu et intime sur les glaneurs post-industriels, qui luttent en marge de notre société.
