This is where they got the plot line for Rise of The Planet of the Apes.

Herb Terrance is a bad man.

Infuriating to see absolute idiots playing god with an innocent life. Great piece of work though, got me pretty damn emotional.

Apen-docu... Zielig wat ze dat beest allemaal aan hebben gedaan, maar vaak ook onbegrijpelijk, zeker in het begin. It's a madhouse! A madhouse!

It is interesting to see how many odd people flock to this chimp during his life and how their oddities all seem to come out around him. Hopefully allot was learned from this process on how not to conduct experiments and how personal they should be allowed to get.

I can't help but think this would have been more successful with a female chimp. Like Koko the gorilla

This is a beautiful documentary. I forget which class I'm watching it for.

a sweet ,yet sad film. Glad I watched it though..

A documentary on how not to raise a chimp

Heard great things about it, excited to give it a shot

Woah!!!! Documentary on raising a chimp as a human, and the woman just said she breast fed him for a few months...okkkkk

A look inside a chip named Nim's life as he is taught to be human.Kind of sad,but it does show how very much alike we truly are.

A fascinating documentary about a chimp raised by humans. Would make a great double feature with RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES.

Finally getting around to watching this

4 minutes in and my heart is already broken...

Add this to the movies I recommend, very well done docu that explores human nature, and gives insight to a different time. They wanted to do these experiments to see if a chimp can communicate... more

Add this to the movies I recommend, very well done docu that explores human nature, and gives insight to a different time. They wanted to do these experiments to see if a chimp can communicate through sign language and when they find out that they can they sell him and run lab tests on him. classy.

I was hoping this would be amazing but it was more boring then anything and frustrating.

I'm probably gonna regret watching this... :-/

Great documentary that really hits home to these stupid experiments

The sad story of a chimpanzee used for a scientific experiment. Basically what you saw on the last movie of Planet of the Apes but for real.

They royally screwed this up with their personal lives and opinions

Why do I have the feeling I'm about to get all emotional over this?

Dull as hell. Skip it.

Just starting watching and it's already sad!

i know by the end if this i'll have changed my mind, ... but i want a baby monkey!

What a great film... Takes you through the whole spectrum of emotions from surprise to horror to anger to hope and back again. Extraordinarily well done.

It seems absolutely insane that experiments like this were ever green-lighted.

I'm currently studying nim for a university module! I think he's amazing!

amazed me, beyond everything.

Have watched about ten minutes of this and I dislike these people immensely already lol. Interesting though.
