Project Nim (2011) on Netflix

From the Oscar-winning 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. —Anonymous1970schimpanzeetitle appears in texttwo word titlelinguistics15 morePlot summaryAdd synopsisGenreDocumentaryMotion Picture Rating (MPAA)Rated PG-13 for some strong language, drug content, thematic elements and disturbing imagesParents guide
