PROJECT NIM
HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET
This 2011 documentary is as unsettling as it is fascinating. It’s about a chimpanzee who, in the Seventies, was raised almost as a human child, living in the upper West Side of New York City. Director James Marsh interviews many participants anew, and uses lots of “home movies,” to examine the rights, and wrongs, of such a social experiment.
