The story of rebirth in the confines of poverty!
‘Tin City Voices’ is the story of survival in a third world slum. Filmmaker Elijah Marchand explores a shantytown in Georgetown, Guyana. We discover an abused woman, a pregnant mother, and a man struggling to find redemption for his violent life. Their lives do not intersect but run parallel. Through a stirring story about rebirth and forgiveness amongst despair and violence, we uncover the psychological environment that confines those in the ghetto.

The lyrics from a song titled
The lyrics from a song titled “Youths them so Cold” by Jamaican Artiste Richie Spice, says it all.
Excerpt from the Lyrics:
In the streets it’s getting hot and the youths them a get so cold,
Searching for food for the pot they’ll do anything to fill that gap,
As generation comes and grows, you gatta make preparation for the youths them grow.
It’s what you reap its wat u sow the youths them are the light and the future so when that’s then you know,
If education is the key then tell me why the bigger heads have to make it so expensive for we, give them the key oh set them free
You gatta find a better way, cause when me look in a babylon (authority) me see a bare foul play
You gat to show the people there’s still a brighter way.
I know for sure the sun will come out today.
Vanity is an illusion that will have to fade away, yeah, and all the wicked deeds that done you know u gat to pay
Youths them so Cold
