Rwanda does not have a long history of written literature, but there is a strong oral tradition ranging from poetry to folk stories. Many of the country's moral values and details of history have been passed down through the generations. The most famous Rwandan literary figure was Alexis Kagame (1912–1981), who carried out and published research into oral traditions as well as writing his own poetry. The Rwandan Genocide resulted in the emergence of a literature of witness accounts, essays and fiction by a new generation of writers such as Benjamin Sehene. A number of films have been produced about the Rwandan Genocide, including the Golden Globe-nominated ''Hotel Rwanda'', ''100 Days'', ''Shake Hands with the Devil'', ''Sometimes in April'', and ''Shooting Dogs'', the last four having been filmed in Rwanda and having featured survivors as cast members.
