Culture vs. Nature

Red Sweaters Don't Get Much Cuter. If you're perplexed on what to see during the SilverDocs Documentary Film Festival, we suggest putting "Project Nim" on your watch list. The documentary chronicles the famous (and controversial) '70s experiment in which a baby chimpanzee was raised like a human child and taught sign language. While a clothes-wearing, talking chimp sounds like classic Disney fodder, Nim's tragic downfall proves to dig down much deeper.
