Watch the First Six Minutes of PROJECT NIM. (Hint: You Should!)

Not only one of the best documentaries of the year, James Marsh's (Man On Wire) Project Nim is one of the best films of the year.  Period.  Full Stop.  Need some convincing that a 30 odd years post-mortem about a Columbia Professor's attempt to teach a Chimpanzee sign language is not only a gripping story of scientific hubris, but also an emotional rollercoaster?  Well, Roadside Attractions has put the first six minutes of the film online, which are a showcase of how effective the film is at stitching together re-created footage with archival footage and talking heads.
