CBS 60-Minutes Feature on "BONOBOS" this Sunday!

Dear HHSE Friends & Followers - HHSE is proud and humbled to announce that CBS 60-Minutes will run a 13-minute feature story this weekend (from correspondent Anderson Cooper) on the plight of the BONOBOS and the LOLA YA BONOBO Sanctuary in the Congo.  Footage from the HHSE film was provided for CBS to utilize in the program, and Claudine Andre' (the star of the HHSE feature film), mentioned the importance of the feature film in expanding awareness of this issue.

Here's a quick teaser for this Sunday's broadcast:

Hannover House has known about this coverage since last year when Anderson Cooper and his crew agreed to the story and visited the film's location site in the Congo.  We have been patiently (and quietly) awaiting the broadcast of this story - as it will be a major help in expanding awareness of the Bonobos and of the HHSE feature film and upcoming home video release.

Watch it if you can!
