Introduction
From the makers of Man on Wire comes the story of a chimp in an experiment to see if it can communicate using language if raised like a human.
Synopsis
From the Oscar-winning team behind Man on Wire comes the story of Nim, the chimp who in the mid-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, 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.
