SYNOPSIS

Joining Athletics Essendon in 1946, not even Arthur knew it was the beginning of the longest serving love affair of his life. Some may say it is an addiction, but to Arthur it is a place where he can truly be himself. Do not be misled by his endearing smile, there is a whole lot of grit behind those bright blue eyes. Arthur is a 5 minute documentary about one remarkable man, whose unwavering dedication to his local athletics club is an inspiration for all.
