Om denne film

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 around him fail to protect him, PROJECT NIM uncovers the unflinching and extraordinary journey of one animal thrust into human society.

Awe inspiring, fascinating, and informative! That's the words that came to mind. This is the 2nd best documentary I've seen, only surpassed by Blackfish. It's a film that grabs you & never lets go until a couple days after watching it! It plays on all humans instinct & endless journey to understand evolution, creationism, and most of all ourselves as human beings. Don't miss it 😆

Its true story. Its heart breaking. You should leave wild animals alone and not train that's not normal behavior. I never heard of this till I saw this movie.

I wonder if they ever contacted Michael Jackson (notice the image of Michael with President Reagan?) to see if he would take Nim to Neverland Ranch? I am sure Michael would have and by the way Michael did sign language with his chimp Bubbles. There is YouTube video showing Michael in Japan with Bubbles and he's doing sign language with Bubbles. CUTE!!!
