What happens

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. 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. 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. The series premiered on October 4, 2015. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
