Raising Voices

When a 17-year-old reports a sexual assault at her high school, an investigation upends her life and tests her relationships.

Raising Voices (2024) is a Spanish teen drama miniseries created by Miguel Sáez Carral and José Manuel Lorenzo for Netflix. Across eight episodes of roughly 47 minutes each, the story follows Alma, a 17-year-old whose decision to report a sexual assault at her high school sets an investigation in motion and strains her closest relationships. Nicole Wallace plays Alma, with Clara Galle as Greta, Aïcha Villaverde as Nata and Teresa de Mera as Berta among her circle of classmates, while Ivan Massagué, Gabriel Guevara and Daniel de Lorenzo appear among the wider cast. The engine of the series is the pressure the school community applies: friends are forced to take sides, adults weigh reputations and procedures, and a young woman must keep speaking when silence is easier. Each episode moves the inquiry forward while the emotional fallout spreads through families and friendships. Told as one continuous, grounded arc set in present-day Spain, the series carries a tense, sincere and wrenching tone, with moments of hope that come from solidarity. Fans of Thirteen Reasons Why, Élite and Unbelievable will find resonance in its treatment of teen life, institutional silence and survivor voice.

Audiences rate the miniseries positively for its handling of a sensitive subject and its strong teen cast.
