Project Nim (2011)

From the team behind Man on Wire comes the story of Nim, the chimpanzee who in the 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.

Brilliant and heartwarming documentary about Nim the chimp

Reney W 26 Sep 2017

We humans can be such idiots. We can be great, we can be generous and kind, but we are mostly cruel, self-involved schmucks. In the story of NIM the chimpanzee we are especially vindictive characters. In a nutshell NIM is taken from his mother at birth. He is given to a human family to raise. The point? To teach him sign language. So we can communicate with another species. Whoop, whoop. Best performance NIM cannot speak. He cannot string together full sentences in sign language either. Yet we never doubt how much he loves, and how much he ends up hating, human beings. Stand-out scene The scene is not filmed, but retold by NIM's "human" mother. After years and years of neglect she at last decides to visit NIM as an adult chimpanzee locked up in a cage on a farm for lost and injured animals. She enters his cage. What he does next is riveting. Negatives Humans. Is the film relevant today? Have we learnt how to live in harmony with the planet? With other species? No. I guess the film is super-relevant.

A perfect segue into Planet of the Apes. I'm surprised I liked it as much as I did.

As Nim is heralded, befriended, sold, rescued, refuted, forgotten and more, his epic cautionary tale thoughtfully examines the inherent dangers of man trying to remake his fellow creatures in his own image.

Touching story of a Chimp raised by Humans for research into whether they are capable of language. Along the way, We Humans let him down. Very interesting study, I shed a few tears for Nim. Great Study of Inter-Species relationships.
