Who Killed the Montreal Expos? Review: Vive les Expos! - POV Magazine

Who Killed the Montreal Expos? Review

The documentary explores the loss of the beloved baseball team and US-Canada divides.

Filmmaker Jean-François Poisson investigates why the Montreal Expos relocated to Washington D.C. in 2005, becoming the Washington Nationals.

Poisson's focus is on who is to blame for the team's departure, rather than whether a team will return to Montreal.

Expos hats continue to adorn baseball fans up North, and with Major League Baseball well past due for another expansion, questions of whether Montreal will be a part of those discussion always rear their head.

The documentary takes an almost true crime approach to the investigation, similar to Kat Jayme's The Grizzlie Truth, about the demise of the Vancouver Grizzlies basketball team.
