	Cambodian Americans
		The Cambodian people and their language are also known as "Khmer." About 90 percent of the people in Cambodia are ethnic Cambodians, or Khmer; five percent are Vietnamese; one percent are Chinese; and four percent belong to other ethnic groups, including the Cham who are predominantly Muslims and who migrated from Vietnam long ago.
		Among Cambodian Americans, also, the urge to bear witness to the horrors of the years from 1975 to 1979 has inspired many to write, and as a result, the autobiography is the most commonly employed literary form.
		Despite the importance of family for Cambodian Americans, they have relatively high numbers of households headed by a single, female parent; in 1990 about 20 percent of Cambodian American households were headed by women, a factor that contributes to their poverty.

		However, many of the current generation of Cambodian American students were born in the U.S. This new generation of Cambodian Americans is much more likely to consider a career in a criminal justice field, whether it be in law enforcement, probation and parole, corrections, or the courts.
		As a result, most Cambodian immigrants who settled in Lowell are uneducated; not only is the American education system in particular alien to many of the parents of Cambodian American students, so is education in general.
		Another part of the explanation for the under-representation of Cambodian Americans in positions of power in Lowell may be explained by the cultural differences between Cambodian and American cultures.

		Cambodian-Americans are beneficiaries of two cultures that often have diametrically opposing viewpoints in that Cambodian culture subscribes to the notion that a child's life is never really their own, whereas the American culture stresses the fostering of independence in a child and recognizes an adult child's capability to make a decision.
		Unlike the mainstream American's emphasis on the esteemed commodity of individualism, parent-child relationships among Cambodian-Americans are complex; it is a web of interdependency that binds a child to his or her parents because of age-old customs and ideas of filial piety.
		Unsurprisingly, the conduct of Cambodian children raised in America is constantly being questioned, and at times mocked, by their parents whose own ideas conform more to the "homeland" than with that of their "new world".

		And Cambodian artists on either side of the Pacific have an expanded mission: to pool knowledge and resources in order to piece together their heritage.

		The subjects of this documentary are equally agile in negotiating between the lures of American youth culture and the expectations of their parents who survived the Khmer Rouge atrocities of the 1970s....
