Storyline
Edyth Fellows is a nurse recruited for an research project with a time travel device that can snatch any being from any time and bring it to the present. The first such test brings an Neanderthal child to the project and Fellows is responsible for his care for the interim. As she manages this task, Fellows is increasingly revolted at how the scientists dismiss him as little more than an animal, especially when his real intelligence shows. This growing moral dilemma comes to a head when Fellows realizes what they plan to do with him and she cannot stand by and let it happen. Written by Kenneth Chisholm (kchishol@rogers.com)

I saw this movie some time ago, but it stuck with me for this long. I was especially taken by the little boy, and possibly would have done the same as the lady in the show did. It's unique because of the type of character Barry plays again. A cold-hearted scientist. Anyone who knows him also knows HE likely would have done the same as the woman...
