A Love Letter to Roger

Roger Rodas was a husband, father, son, friend, businessman, philanthropist, and race car driver. Sadly, he is best known for the horrific car accident that cost him his life and being the friend of his famous passenger. Born in El Salvador in 1979, a country riddled with war and violence, Roger's father was assassinated when he was just four years old. To save their own lives, Roger and his family fled to America where they lived in poverty. He was forced into becoming a man overnight. Tragedy continued to follow and hunt him down during his teenage years; yet his intelligence and charm helped him to achieve a better life and achieve the American dream. He built a life for himself and his family. He came from very little and created a life and career to be proud of. On November 30, 2013, Roger and his friend Paul are together for a charity toy drive and car show. They fundraiser benefits a disaster relief organization that the two friends formed together a few years before. The men reflect on their lives and relationships before taking a stalling car out for a test ride, never to return, turning a successful and fun day into a tragic one. This is the story of Roger's beautiful and tragic life, his love story with his wife Kristine, whom he met at the age of 14, and his tragic final day on this earth. At EVOLVING Entertainment, we are beyond humbled and honored to be entrusted with Roger's story. We hope to pay homage to a great man and do right by his incredible legacy and remaining family members.
