Tarzan’s Testicles
At the end of the 1920s, the Soviets built a medical research center in Sukhumi, the capital of today’s Abkhazia—a self-proclaimed nation of fewer than 250,000 inhabitants that is recognized by only a handful of countries—aiming to crossbreed humans and apes. The experiments proved unsuccessful, but people and animals still live together in the dilapidated institution to this very day. Venturing into the disputed territory marked by sociopolitical turmoil, Alexandru Solomon’s fascinating documentary ponders the relationship between humans and other primates in order to investigate the destructive influence of dogma and the role of faith and ethics in scientific research.
