SEDONA-"Dance of the Warrior Mouse," a short documentary by Flagstaff filmmaker Susan Green, honors the Navajo and Hopi environmentalists who faced down the world's biggest government and the biggest mining company and won. This is a victory that Green compares to the Hopi story of the Warrior Mouse who saved the village chickens from a marauding chicken hawk. The film was featured at Sedona's 13th Annual International Film Festival and Workshop on Feb. 28.
