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.
