Juana Brava is a Chilean television series created by Ignacio Arnold and Nimrod Amitai and produced and aired by Televisión Nacional de Chile (TVN) during the second half of 2015.
[1][2] The series was originally titled The Mayor and was to be produced by Mega after the project received CLP$379,092,972 (US$765,422 in 2013) in funding from the National Television Council in 2013.
Mega wanted an in-house team to develop the scripts, which Arnold and Amitai felt would lessen the quality of the product, leading them to end the partnership and take the project to TVN instead.
[4] Juana Bravo (Elisa Zulueta) is a 33-year-old woman who, after 15 years in the capital, is forced to return to her hometown, the fictional San Fermín, where her father (Alejandro Trejo) is the mayor.
When she comes back she realizes that things are not working properly and the town has become the site of landfills, prisons, and polluting industries that nobody else wants in their neighborhood.
