From the team behind Man on Wire comes the story of Nim, the 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 we learn about his true nature - and indeed our own - is comic, revealing and profoundly unsettling.
