It is the story of one of Canada’s most beloved yet ill-fated sports teams, the Montreal Expos. The narrative begins in April 2012, when former Expos player Warren Cromartie returns to Montreal with the ambitious goal of reviving the team against all odds. The “untold” story of this attempted resurrection takes viewers on a behind-the-scenes, emotional journey, showcasing a vibrant cast of historical figures. It also delves into the remarkable 36-year history of the team, featuring notable participants. Filmed over 12 years, the documentary serves as a cinematic tribute to Montreal, offering a nostalgic portrait of the deep connection between the city, the team, and its devoted fans. It explores the profound relationship that can exist between a city, a sports team, and its community.
