Project Nim chronicles the extraordinary life of Nim Chimpsky, a chimpanzee raised as a human child in a groundbreaking experiment to see if apes could learn sign language. The film documents Nim's development, his bonds with his human family, and the eventual, often heartbreaking, consequences of his unique upbringing. Through archival footage and interviews, it explores themes of nature versus nurture, the ethics of animal experimentation, and the profound emotional capacity of non-human beings.
