Masa Revolution is a bilingual documentary feature film that explores economic, social and political clashes with a lense on Los Angeles street food: Mexican burritos and Korean Tacos to Indian Dosa and Shrimp Creole. At issue are food trucks. Nicknamed Roach Coaches for many years, mobile food vendors have a rich and slightly negative history in the Southland. Masa Revolution explains how blue-collar entrepreneurs, then Mexican immigrants, and now gourmet chefs have harnessed this industry and how its newest archetype is threatening traditional business models.
Private Investigators Jan B. Tucker and Tawni Tyndall have rolls sleuthing out the who’s who of business and politics that are fighting efforts by this new industry to gain a foothold in Los Angeles.

About Jan Tucker
The Detectives Diary is an innovative tool combining Private Investigation and Journalism. In 1984, Steve Harvey's Los Angeles Times "Around the Southland" Column entitled Jan Tucker's program of providing low-cost "Opposition Research" services to indigent and working class candidates for public office, "Take Cover: Hired Mudslinger Rides into Town." A 1996 Los Angeles Times article by Henry Chu carried a sub-headline identifying Tucker as a "P.R. Guru." In November 2012, Tucker became Criminal Justice Columnist for Counter Punch Magazine and a commentator for Black Talk Radio.
As a private investigator since 1979 and a former First Vice President of Newspaper Guild Local 69, Tucker takes these skills to a new level in the pages of the Detectives Diary with insightful and unique exposures and analysis of history and current events.
