PROJECT NIM

(James Marsh / 93" / 2011 / USA-United Kingdom)   Nim is the name of a chimpanzee that, in the 70s, became the focus of an experiment that aimed to discover what would happen if a monkey were raised and fed like a human being.  It's an extraordinary journey through society and the undeniable impact that NIM had on people.  A not-to-be-missed biography of an animal that we tried to turn into a human.  Best Documentary Direction in the "World Cinema" category at the Sundance Festival.
