Overview

• Netflix has ordered a documentary on the Montreal Expos' exit from Major League Baseball nearly 20 years ago, directed by Jean-François Poisson in partnership with Montreal-based Attraction.
• The documentary will explore the events and setbacks leading to the Expos' departure from Montreal in 2004, including fee disputes and management changes.
• Netflix's expansion into sports-related content includes live sports events and documentaries, following the success of series like 'Drive to Survive' and 'Full Swing'.
• The streaming giant is also deepening its investment in Canadian programming, in part to comply with new federal regulations requiring foreign platforms to promote Canadian-originated content.
• The Expos, who played their first game in 1969, became the Washington Nationals in 2005 after announcing their move to Washington D.C. in 2004.
