Raising Voices

When 17-year-old Alma reports a sexual assault at her high school, the complaint sets off a formal inquiry that upends her everyday life and alters the dynamics among classmates, teachers and family. The investigation brings private histories into the open, forces alliances to shift, and exposes how rumor, fear and power shape what people are willing to say or believe. The series follows Alma and the people closest to her as they deal with suspicion, loyalty and the consequences of speaking up, showing how a single report can ripple through a tight community without resolving every question.

Created by Miguel Sáez Carral and José Manuel Lorenzo, Raising Voices premiered in 2024. The drama stars Nicole Wallace as Alma, with Clara Galle, Aïcha Villaverde, Teresa de Mera and Ivan Massagué in key roles, and was positioned as a topical, character-driven series.

As of late 2024 the series had not secured major awards or high-profile nominations. Industry recognition remained limited, even as individual performances and the show's subject matter kept it in critics' conversations.

The show has stimulated discussion about consent, school accountability and how communities react to allegations, especially on social media and in think pieces. Certain scenes and performances have been frequently referenced in online debates, and viewers have used the series as a starting point for conversations about reporting processes and support for survivors.

Critics and audiences gave Raising Voices solid ratings, averaging about 7.7 out of 10 from several hundred votes. Reviewers tend to note the strong ensemble acting and the series' willingness to linger on uncomfortable moments instead of offering neat resolutions. Major themes include memory, credibility, institutional pressure and the fragility of friendships when trust is shaken, and the show aims to provoke thought rather than hand out easy answers.
