Nina Rosenblum’s career as a documentary filmmaker began in 1980, when her film, AMERICA AND LEWIS HINE, (written and co-produced with Daniel Allentuck), premiered at the New York Film Festival and was broadcast nationally on PBS.

She is President of DAEDALUS PRODUCTIONS, INC., and has produced and directed for TBS, HBO, PBS, New York Times Television, SHOWTIME, ABC and NBC. Her co-production partners have included Channel Four/UK; WDR/Germany; La Sept/France and SBS/Australia. She is a member of the Directors’ Guild of America, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and New York Women in Film.

In 1990, Rosenblum produced, directed and co-wrote THROUGH THE WIRE, PBS/POV, (narrated by Susan Sarandon), a graphic investigation of small group isolation in a federal prison. Her 1992 feature documentary LOCK-UP: THE PRISONERS OF RIKERS ISLAND, produced for HBO’s AMERICA UNDERCOVER series, further solidified Rosenblum and Daedalus Productions as major producers on the non-fiction scene.

In 1992, Rosenblum and William Miles produced and directed LIBERATORS: FIGHTING ON TWO FRONTS IN WWII, (PBS/American Experience), about the experiences of the all-Black 761st Tank Battalion in WWII. Narrated by Denzel Washington, the film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary. This was followed by the 1994 Emmy winner, THE UNTOLD WEST: THE BLACK WEST (TBS, narrated by Danny Glover), which interwove documentary with dramatic segments.
