Documentary tracing the life of a chimpanzee that was raised as part of a New York family during the 1970s. Part of a scientific project attempting to challenge Noam Chomsky's thesis that language is inherent only in humans, Nim the chimpanzee was raised by human surrogate parents in a home environment.
