Les 12 hommes qui ont quitté Bloemfontein ont abandonné l’Afrique du Sud en 1960 pour faire prendre conscience à l’étranger de la réalité du Congrès national africain (ANC). Parmi eux se trouvait Benjamin Pule Leinaeng, le beau-père du réalisateur. À son enterrement à Bloemfontein, Harris découvre l’extrême courage de cet homme. Ce film est une acceptation posthume de la paternité de Leinaeng et un hommage aux douze hommes qui ont sacrifié leur propre vie pour la liberté de leur pays.

April, 1994. Genocide in Rwanda. 800,000 dead. A catastrophe that upset the balance in the entire region. The Great Lakes region of Africa ended the year with a bloodbath. This documentary shows the intrigues, the dramatic effects, the treasons, the vengeances that prevailed over those years and whose only goal was to maintain or increase each faction’s area of influence. In just ten years, the population saw all their hopes vanish: The dream of an Africa in control of its own destiny, alimentary self-sufficiency, the end of interethnic conflicts.
