Woodhead first made his name as a reporter for Granada Television 's flagship current affairs series '' World in Action '' . He remained with Granada for 28 years .

Among these were his films '' Invasion '' , about Soviet invasion and the Prague Spring of 1968 , and '' Strike '' which deals with the rise of Solidarnosc in Poland . In 1999 his documentary film '' A Cry From The Grave '' , which documents , hour by hour , the atrocities of the Srebrenica massacre , won awards at four film festivals
