Billy Jack Redux?

This is ironic. The Kennedy's have tried to stop a wind farm on Nantucket but Joe Kennedy II is trying to seize control of a wind farm project in Arizona headed by a group of Navajo Indians.

I have to disagree with Moe Lane that the situation seems like a plot out of Magnum PI or the A-Team. This is clearly a great set-up for a 2009 version of Billy Jack.

Instead of a freedom school for runaways - you have today's social cause du jure - wind farms. The main antagonist in the original movie is the rich son of the local political patriarch - not much needs to be changed there. The original Billy Jack also took place in Arizona. This is perfect! The thing I would suggest though is not to play it as a drama - play it up as a comedy. The real life situation is farce enough but the satire could be pure gold. The big questions would be which actors would you get to play Billy Jack and who would play Joe Kennedy II?
