Phones Canada is thrilled to share the news of Netflix’s latest documentary project in collaboration with Montreal-based Attraction. This marks the first initiative under their creative partnership, and we couldn’t be more excited to see the outcome.
The untitled film will delve into the circumstances surrounding the departure of the Montreal Expos, Quebec’s beloved Major League Baseball team, and the ongoing discussions that still take place two decades later. As many of our readers may know, the Expos left the league in 2004 and became the Washington Nationals in Washington, D.C.
“It is with great pride and enthusiasm that Attraction announces the first project to result from our partnership with Netflix. The Expos were the first MLB team outside of the US, and despite their departure from Montreal, they continue to have passionate fans to this day. This film will tell the story of the team through the eyes of those who lived it,” said Richard Speer, President, Attraction.
Directed by Jean-François Poisson with Marie-Christine Pouliot and Richard Speer serving as executive producers, this documentary aims to shed light on the Expos’ legacy and the impact of their move from Montreal. It promises an in-depth look at one of baseball’s most debated departures.
Netflix has a track record of captivating sports stories such as “Formula 1: Drive To Survive,” “Full Swing,” and “Untold,” among others. We can’t wait to see how this documentary adds to their collection and provides a fresh perspective on one of baseball’s most significant moments. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting collaboration between Netflix and Attraction!
