Description

In “Fairly Traceable,” celebrated Cherokee playwright and attorney Mary Kathryn Nagle tells the romantic story of two Native American law students. Set during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, “Fairly Traceable” — a reference to the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s written opinion for the majority in the 1992 Supreme Court case Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife — takes on climate change and the federal laws that protect big corporations over individuals rights to a clean environment.
