“The debate in the US whether wild animals should be allowed to be kept in captivity, both as pets or as test subjects, has raged on for years. Director James Marsh, the creator of Man On Wire, has crafted a film that presents a unique case against keeping animals in captivity with Nim, a chimpanzee that was taken from his mother shortly after birth, and became the subject of a test to see whether or not chimps had the capacity to learn and successfully use sign language.”
