From the Oscar-winning team behind Man On Wire comes the story of Nim, 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 trusted with his well being fail to protect him, Project Nim uncovers the unflinching and extraordinary journey of one animal thrust into human society.

Expert Review:
What began as an attempt to test the boundary between man and primate turned into a long, tumultuous journey for one chimpanzee. James Marsh, director of Man on Wire, chronicles Nim Chimpsky's long road from unusual test subject, raised as if he were a human, to a lab chimp and beyond. This is a tale of science gone incompetent, and how one innocent was ceaslessly jerked around as a result. By Daniel Schindel of ScreenPicks
