Review of Project Nim (2011) by Ian G — 02 Mar 2014
A great little documentary from James Marsh of Man of a Wire fame focusing on the story of Nimm, a chimp who is brought on as an infant in the 70's to study its abiliity to communicate if taught to sign and through being nurtured by a human family, overseen by a professor at Columbia,.
Intriguing since rightly or wrongly, personal gain and the rights for Nimm begin to shift the care for him from the case study, to the family, to to compound where Nimm was born and even into a science lab for study.
Begs lots of questions for animal rights as well as the best way to care for what turns out to be an extraordinary critter.
