First of all, go see it, it is very well done and enjoyable.  Convincing, too,
although I am not really in a position to dispute any of the details. 

I would really like to know how much of this film is, as advertised,
"based on a true story".  I have a feeling that maybe the extent of it is
that yes, they did build a really big dam in South America once.
Does anyone know any of the actual facts?
