My Why:
Mystic Jungle was created to explore the unique universe of the enchanted Amazon region. Just as it was very well explored in the series by director Carlos Saldanha, produced by Netflix, Invisible City. Here, through a children’s and young adult format, full of historical references and folkloric research, it will cover not only Brazil, but the entire region that surrounds it, showing a web of historical events that led to the beginning of the whole adventure.
