Where does it come from?

A Cambodian-American group who settle in the USA, after the fall of Pol Pot regime (Communist) which killed over tree millions innocent people.  Most, Cambodian people are under PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). They became very weak and suppress from their tragedy experiences in losing the majority of their family members. They have no hope to be prospered in their life and their future.  Being lack of confidence, that generation is absolutely in sane.  They gone through tremendous suffering in life. They are the survival of the killing field and have to faced with their hardship in their new country without a word of English language or other foreign country. They had no choice but moved forward; no matter what was happened to them now or later.
