On the Run

Episode 1 of 8

Lemar has struck out with a house of his own, aiming to capitalise on the scene’s mainstream success. But Blanca still sees her role as mother in a different light.

1994. As the AIDS epidemic continues to ravage their community, the ballroom scene is changing. Ambitious young Lemar has struck out with a house of his own, the House of Khan, aiming to capitalise on the scene’s mainstream success by monetising its talent and creativity.

But Blanca still sees her role as mother in a different light and rises to the challenge of getting her house in order to stand for different values. But she has her work cut out.

With Prey Tell having fallen prey to a drinking problem, Angel becoming disillusioned with her modelling prospects, and with most of her other children having moved out or given in to dangerous habits, she has to draw on the strength supplied by a new romantic relationship to provide hope and gather her flock. Will it work?
