Nili Tal (Hebrew: נילי טל‎, born Nili Herman in Tel Aviv, Israel) is an Israeli journalist and documentary film director and producer.

Biography

Tal began her journalism career at the Israeli Haaretz daily newspaper in 1965, where she spent ten years. She also contributed as a freelancer to Yedioth Ahronoth and Maariv. She then moved into the television industry and began to work for the Israeli Broadcasting Authority, the sole television network in Israel at the time. She was one of the directors of Mabat Sheni (Second Look) a 60-Minute-like reporting program.

Filmmaking career

In her 1984 documentary Eyal she interviewed a junkie. It was the first time a scene of shooting drugs was shown on TV in Israel, which brought the problematic issue of drugs usage into public debate.

"Sixty and the City" depicts Tal's two-year search for love over the internet. She made "Ukraine Brides" in 2000 and a sequel, "Ukraine Brides 8 Years Later," in 2009. "The Girls from Brazil" (2006-2007 ) depicts her trip to Brazil with four young Israelis searching for their birth mothers. "Till Death Do Us Part" (1998) documents the murder of Einav Rogel on Kibbutz Sha'ar HaGolan. "Murder without a Motive" explores the murder of Asaf Steierman. "Bruna" is a follow up on the Brazilian baby girl who was adopted by an Israeli couple and returned to her birth mother by the courts at the age of two. [1]
