New York Premiere of PROJECT NIM

From director James Marsh and 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. Combining the testimony of all the key participants, newly discovered archival footage, and dramatic imagery, PROJECT NIM tells the picaresque story of one chimpanzee's extraordinary journey through human society and the enduring impact he makes on the people he meets along the way.
