Name this movie

[AndyC]

While driving past some big power lines today, I was hit by a vague recollection of a TV-movie from the early 80s. I don't remember much, except that a bunch of people get together to stop a company from putting power lines through their community. I don't recall it being particularly good, but I simply must know the title, who was in it, and a few of the details, for the sake of curiosity.

Almost certainly not it, but the only thing that comes to mind is that Eddie Murphy movie where he was pretending to be a politician standing up for a bunch of people concerned about the cancer rates near power lines.

Nope, this was early 80s, and had a bunch of your typical noble movie farmers and small-town folk. I'm almost certain it was made for TV, and it didn't star anybody famous that I can remember. I do remember a protest rally, with the song 'For What It's Worth' (everybody look what's going down), and possibly a plan to disassemble some of the towers at night. Sound familiar to anybody?
