17-year-old Alma's life is upended after she reports a sexual assault in "Raising Voices," a Spanish teen thriller streaming on Netflix. It draws comparisons to other teen series including "Euphoria" and "13 Reasons Why".
The globally trending series is based on a novel by Miguel Sáez Carral ("Ni una más"). Carral, one of the creators of the series, was inspired by personal experiences, including observations made by his own daughter, and feedback from the actresses.
"Raising Voices" stars Nicole Wallace and Clara Galle, popular Spanish youth romantic comedy actresses, now in a more mature project tackling rape culture, pornography, social media impact on youth, and drugs.
Like "Euphoria," the series makes the mix of the real and virtual worlds in the lives of Gen Z teens a central pillar of the plot. It highlights the need for media attention and support for these cases.
Wallace, who plays the protagonist Alma, contributed more than just her performance to the series, as she participated in decision-making as the lead.
