From the Academy Award winning team behind Man on Wire comes the story of Nim, a 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. What was learned about his true nature--and indeed our own--is comic, revealing and profoundly unsettling.

 Wednesday night's showing of Project Nim will be followed by a discussion led by Prof. Teresa Barber of the department of psychology at Dickinson College.

Sponsored by the Departments of Anthropology and Psychology at Dickinson College.
