Project Nim

From the team behind *Man on Wire* comes a film chronicling the story of Nim, a chimpanzee who became the subject of a groundbreaking 1970s experiment. The experiment aimed to determine whether an ape could acquire language when raised and treated like a human child. The film traces Nim's remarkable journey through human society and the lasting effects he had on those he encountered. It presents an unflinching and unsentimental portrait of an animal who was raised to be human. The film reveals insights into Nim's true nature and, by extension, human nature itself, offering a narrative that is at once humorous, revealing, and deeply unsettling.
