Juana Brava is a Chilean television series created by and and produced and aired by Televisión Nacional de Chile (TVN) during the second half of 2015. The series takes place in the fictional town of San Fermín, inspired by the Chilean town of Tiltil, and focuses on the abuse of power and the struggle of a simple woman to change a complex system dominated by large and powerful entities. It highlights conflicts between citizens, social problems, corruption, and the struggle for rights.[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.[3]
The series premiered on October 4, 2015.[4]
Plot[]
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. After discovering the irregularities, she faces both a corrupt system and family challenges. She is an idealistic and somewhat impulsive woman who works hard to gain the support of those who live in the town, believing she can change the system. But in her struggle she neglects her 16-year-old son, Diego (Lucas Balmaceda), who goes from being naive and lonely to an anti-establishment rebel.
