Project Nim: From the Oscar-winning team behind MAN ON WIRE comes the story of Nim, the chimpanzee who in the nineteen seventy became the focus of a landmark
experiment which aimed to show that an ape could learn to communicate with language if raised and nurtured like a human child. Following Nim's extraordinary journey
through human society, and the enduring impact he makes on the people he meets along the way, the film is an unflinching and unsentimental biography of an animal we
tried to make human. What we learn about his true nature - and indeed our own - is comic, revealing and profoundly unsettling.
