From the Oscar-winning team behind 'Man on Wire' comes the story of Nim, the chimpanzee who in the mid-1970s became the focus of a landmark experiment which aimed to show that an ape could learn to communicate with language if raised and nurtured like a human child.   Following Nim's extraordinary journey through human society, and the enduring impact he makes on the people he meets along the way, the film is an unflinching and unsentimental biography of an animal we tried to make human. What we learn about his true nature - and indeed our own - is comic, revealing and profoundly unsettling.

After getting drawn into street violence, a rebellious youth and his sister Dana are sent by their concerned parents to a radical new school where anti-social children rapidly become compliant. Vee, a newly arrived teacher, is spooked by these ‘Stepford’ teens and grows suspicious, as does Dana whose brother has changed beyond recognition. With the aid of Peter, a local reporter and Bobby, another pupil seemingly unaffected by the school, Vee and Dana set out to uncover the truth behind the McCarthy Institute. But their investigations are cut short as, in true ‘Body Snatcher,’ style they find themselves hunted down by pupils and teachers alike until Dana is the only girl left with a mind of her own. Even by seeking refuge at home, Dana is faced with one final impossible dilemma.

Synopsis

Damian and Mark, two bored 16-year-olds, long to escape their tiny forgotten village high on the Northern moors of England. They spend their time idly taking pot-shots at sheep and passing cars with Damian's air rifle. But everything changes when they covertly witness a large thug and a businessman meeting in a deserted lay-by to exchange drugs and money. The boys unwittingly cause the drug deal to go horribly wrong, and the thug kills his cocaine-dealing 'business associate'. When the thug flees the scene, Damian and Mark seize the opportunity to steal the drug dealer's classic American Cadillac, together with his gun, a sackful of cash and a kilo of cocaine.  Now all they have to do is buy a spade to bury the drug dealer's body (stashed in the trunk), appease Damian's mouthy girlfriend, lose their virginity, get off the moors, and head South to Spain. Easier said than done when the killer's in pursuit and you're - Rebels Without a Clue.
