The documentary frames the Expos' relocation as the result of profit-driven ownership decisions and MLB's business practices, with the lack of public funding presented as a critical missed opportunity rather than an overreach. This anchors the narrative in critiques of corporate priorities over local community interests.

Jean-François Poisson’s investigative documentary draws on interviews with former players, executives, and journalists plus archival material to probe the corporate and political factors behind the Montreal Expos’ relocation. The filmmaker had direct access to key figures from the era, including Hall of Famers and team insiders, while posing the central question of responsibility for the franchise’s demise. Casting reflects the team’s actual historical composition with no recast roles, and the account centers on ownership disputes and stadium politics rather than identity-based critiques.
