A really fascinating new documentary called "Project Nim" is out that is getting a lot of good buzz. The film is about a University of Oklahoma researcher at the Primate Studies Institute that basically adopts a small chimp and as part of a scientific experiment raises it as they would a human child. The film currently has a 97% favorable rating at Rotten Tomatoes.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the OKCMOA theater is going to show it during the first weekend of September and thought others might want to know about it as well:
