Even though it's been over 20 years since the Expos left the game, they haven't been forgotten. You can see it in the many Expos caps in ballparks across America… and in the passion of fans here at home.

There are so many people who ensure that the club's collective memory never dies.

But now Netflix is getting in on the act. You may have known that the platform was planning to release (in French) a documentary on the Expos' departure… and now details have emerged.

The documentary will be available on October 21. It's called: Qui a tué les Expos de Montréal?

If the answer to the question isn't “Jeffrey Loria” at the end of the documentary, it will be interesting to understand why… even if, in reality, several people are to blame in this story.

Pedro Martinez, Larry Walker, Vladimir Guerrero and Felipe Alou will be in the cast. David Samson too.

Netflix announces that the documentary will go behind the scenes of the controversial decisions, setbacks and missteps that led to the Expos' move to Washington for the 2005 season.

The documentary is directed by Jean-Francois Poisson.

We wonder, of course, if there's any prospect in all this. Will the documentary end on a positive note for baseball in Montreal, or on a more sombre one?

Because at the moment, things aren't looking too good for the Expos' comeback…
