Project Nim is the story of the chimpanzee who became the focus of a landmark 1970s experiment to show that an ape could learn to communicate with language if raised and nurtured like a human child. But as Nim's natural instincts take over and the humans around him fail to protect him, Project Nim uncovers the unflinching and extraordinary journey of one animal thrust into human society.
From the Oscar® winning team behind Man on Wire (Best Documentary Feature, 2008) and a current finalist on the short list for Best Documentary for this year's Academy Awards, the film tells the remarkable story of a chimpanzee taken from its mother at birth and raised as a human child to tragic consequences.
Project Nim is now available on DVD, digitial download and On Demand from Lionsgate.
