Emily Sotelo, 19, was discovered dead on a New Hampshire mountain trail on her 20th birthday. Emily, who had only recently started hiking and had no expertise with winter, was unprepared for the harsh, freezing weather that claimed her life. She had granola bars, a banana, and water in her backpack. She wore long underwear but only light pants, a jacket, and running shoes were on her. She had heated gloves and a neck warmer, but no hat was on, although she had no hat. By her 20th birthday, she had aspired to scale all 48 peaks above 4,000 feet. She is thought she was lost and was unable to return to the trail due to the changing weather and her lack of preparation. She is pictured, right, with her father, Jorge.

CRAIG BROWN: Last week, I went to see Emily at our local cinema. It's based on a true tale,' like so many movies these days, about three Bronte sisters, all huddled together in their father's parsonage, on Haworth's windswept moors. I find myself distracted by the nagging need to know what is true and what is false in films that are billed as 'based on a true story.' 'Based on' has become a more popular term.' The plot is so good that I get caught up in it. But then something ludicrous happens, or something preposterous is said or done, and I start worrying about the film's legitimacy.
