No Prior Opportunity
Documentary Short
Rhys Gilday, a man on the autism spectrum, and his love of AFL umpires, shine a spotlight on the game’s most misunderstood figures. NO PRIOR OPPORTUNITY is a heartwarming, funny and powerful tribute to passion, exclusion and resilience on the fringes of fandom.
