Proyecto Nim (2011)
Proyecto NiM es una película documental que trata sobre un experimento que se realizó en los años setenta, cuya finalidad era comprobar qué pasaría si un chimpancé fuese criado y alimentado desde su nacimiento como un auténtico ser humano. El experimento llamado 'proyecto Nim' fue obra de un grupo de investigadores de la Universidad de Columbia en Nueva York, que estaba capitaneado por el psicólogo Herbert S. Terrace. Él y su equipo tenían la idea inicial de que si los humanos y los primates eran criados y educados de forma similar al ser humano, podrían llegar a entender el lenguaje humano y tener la capacidad de comunicarse con total libertad. Para comprobarlo, acogieron a un pequeño chimpancé al que pusieron el nombre de Nim Chimpsky.
