Leslie Woodhead is an award-winning British documentary filmmaker. For his National Service commencing in 1956, he served in Fife at the Joint Services School for Linguists where he was taught Russian. and was posted to West Berlin to monitor the communications of Soviet pilots flying in and out of East Germany. "The experience I've come to realise since that it shaped my continuing obsession with what was going on in eastern Europe and particularly the Iron Curtain at that time." 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. Woodhead was among the first exponents of docudrama, a format which allowed him to explore daily life of those "behind the wall" during the Cold War, when journalists had little direct access. 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. Since 1989, when he went freelance, Leslie Woodhead has made a number of films for BBC's ''Storyville'' and ''Arena'' series - among them ''My Life as a Spy'', ''Star Wars Dreams'' (a history of the American missile defence program). He has also worked with the Sundance channel, making ''Godless in America'', a documentary about the life of Madalyn Murray O'Hair who founded American Atheists, and successfully campaigned for the separation of church and state. In 2006 he was nominated for an Emmy for his HBO documentary ''Children of Beslan.'' ==Recent filmography== *2012 ''The Hunt for Bin Laden'' (Writer/Director) *2011 ''9/11: The Day that Changed the World'' (Director/Producer) - Nominated for 2012 BAFTA *2009 ''How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin'' (Director) *2006 ''Saving Jazz'' (Director) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leslie Woodhead」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
