Project Nim (2011) - Official Trailer [HD]

If there's a real "Planet Of The Apes" story it's 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.

Good movie but sad, several of these people are idiots. You hear the statement "I didn't think our sexual relationship would affect anything" a few times. In the end the Chimp was abused and the people who were attacked deserved it, the project leader is an idiot. There were only a few likable people in the film.

In contrast to Washoe, who was actually raised like a child, Nim was always a science project and was even handed over to a pharmaceutical laboratory later on. It's a horrible testimony of how cold-hearted some scientists can become once their studies are over.
