| Resumo: | Baltimore, 1972: Henry Selhorst, father of thirteen children, is murdered blocks from his home; three young men are arrested for the crime, then acquitted. In 2008, as Obama is elected President, his granddaughter Emily Topper tries to find out what really happened that fatal day. All Fall Down is a deeply personal detective story from a city where the relationship between black and white has a troubled history, and where the truth is nonetheless never black and white. Although Emily meets the policeman first on the crime scene, and actually manages to seek out the men accused of the murder, every new testimonial only adds another perspective on the case. In the meantime, 'All Fall Down' emerges as a phantom portrait of a missing man that Emily herself never really got to know, and of a very special family.
