Most of them have known each other for some years and their friendships, personal bonds and shared musical interests are captured in the documentary.

12 Mile Stone Documentary: Bellville is 12 miles from Cape Town. In the old days it used to be a day’s travel from Cape Town. The road became Voortrekker Road and the 12 Mile stone indicated the current Bellville where “Hardekraaltjie” – still the name of today’s camping area – used to be the uitspan camping of the first night on the way to Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Paarl and all those wild wild places on the outskirts of civilization. The film explores the history and current scene to show why Bellville is currently featuring so prominently in the S.A Rock Scene.

Bonus material on the DVD disc includes rare MP3`s of tracks that are hard to find. It features songs from previous bands in which Francois van Coke, Laudo Liebenberg, Wynand Myburgh, Alex Fourie, Hunter Kennedy, Jax Panik, Johnny de Ridder, Francois Blom en Pierre Greeff played.
