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 the US-Canada divide. When the Montreal Expos relocated to Washington D.C. in 2005, it created a vacancy in Canadian sports that has yet to be filled.

Filmmaker Jean-François Poisson investigates why the team left and who is to blame. His approach is similar to Kat Jayme's The Grizzlie Truth, about the demise of the Vancouver Grizzlies basketball team.

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 discussions always rear their head.

Poisson's focus is on the reasons behind the team's relocation, rather than the possibility of a new team returning to Montreal.
