Netflix's 'La Viuda Negra': A True Crime Story Retold. Valencia, Spain, is the setting for 'La Viuda Negra', a Netflix film based on the true crime case of Maje and Salva. The film has sparked renewed interest in the case, and a recent interview with actress Ivana Baquero and producer Ramón Campos on Onda Cero's 'Por Fin' podcast sheds light on their unique approach to the story. Campos explains, "In this case, I wanted to understand why a woman like Maje chose to murder her husband instead of divorcing him." Baquero, who plays Maje, adds, "It was a well-known case in Spain, but being abroad, I discovered it afresh, allowing me to approach it without preconceptions." The podcast 'Operación Viuda Negra' provides a deeper dive into the case. The film and podcast offer a compelling perspective on a tragic event, prompting reflection on society, education, and the impact of social media.
