From the Oscar-winning team behind MAN ON WIRE comes the story of Nim, the chimpanzee who in the 1970s 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, PROJECT NIM 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.
“A provocative and surprisingly emotional saga that ranges from
wrenching to downright hilarious as it spans more than a
quarter-century of unpredictable twists.” - Peter Debruge, Variety
“Fascinating. By turns laugh-out-loud funny, shocking,
terrifying, thought-provoking and ultimately deeply moving.” - View London
“Great. It powerfully explores the line between human and animal so that
you understand nature versus nurture in a completely different way.” - The Village Voice
