“Who lost it all?” Netflix has unveiled a trailer for a documentary film titled Who Killed the Montreal Expos?, a sports history look back at a beloved baseball team. The Montreal Expos were the very first MLB team in Canada playing for 3 long decades. After the 2004 season, the franchise moved to Washington, D.C., and became the Washington Nationals. 20 years after they lost its beloved Expos, fans still want answers. Who Killed the Montreal Expos? takes a behind-the-scenes look at the controversial decisions, setbacks, and missteps (and betrayal?!) that sealed the team’s fate. Through candid interviews with Hall of Famers Pedro Martinez, Vladimir Guerrero Sr., and Larry Walker, along with beloved manager Felipe Alou, journalists, former employees, and diehard fans who lived through it all, the doc film investigates the behind-the-scenes controversies, devastating setbacks, and critical missteps that led to the shocking loss of one of the game’s most cherished franchises. With rare archival footage & flashbacks of the Expos’ greatest moments, the doc is equal parts sports drama, cultural love story, and gripping whodunit, unraveling the enduring mystery of how it all came to an end. This trailer plays like a crime thriller not a nostalgic look back at a team! Intense.

On September 29th, 2004, the Montreal Expos played their final home game before a grieving crowd at Olympic Stadium. For 35 years, the Expos had been more than a ballclub. They were the first MLB team to call Canada home and became part of Montreal’s heartbeat, a symbol of pride and identity for Québécois. Generations grew up with the Expos, celebrating triumphs & enduring struggles. That final game marked the end of an era, and for many, the loss of a piece of themselves. Two decades later, the heartbreak still remains, and the same question haunts the city that once dreamed in Expos blue: who’s to blame for the loss of our team? Featuring rare archival footage and flashbacks of the Expos’ greatest moments, the doc is equal parts sports drama, cultural love story, and gripping whodunit, unraveling the enduring mystery of how it all came to an end. Who Killed the Montreal Expos? is directed by Quebecois filmmaker Jean-François Poisson, of the doc films Marie-Soleil et Jean-Claude: Au-delà des étoiles, 35 jours de noirceur, Dédé et Patrick: au-delà des étoiles, and Gai(e) tu ne seras point, plus many other short films.
