From the Oscar-winning team behind Man on Wire comes Project Nim, the story of Nim the chimpanzee who in the 1970s became the focus of a landmark experiment which aimed to demonstrate 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 biography of an animal we tried to make human. What is learned about his true nature is comic, revealing and profoundly unsettling.
Project Nim is in cinemas from Thursday 29 September. Visit
