In 2021 she completes her newest documentary "papa & dada". The film follows the question: How does starting a family actually "work" as a couple of two men and what does everyday family life look like? What are the particular obstacles, which are the challenges? The documentary "papa & dada" follows up on these questions and transports us into the world of the famous ballet dancer John Lam and his husband lawyer John Ruggieri. In the biggest possible openness, the two of them tell their story and grant an intimate insight into their everyday family life with their sons Giovanni and Santino in Boston. Complemented by the experiences and stories of other same-sexual couples and other companions from different parts of the world, the film draws a lovingly and unbiased picture of a family life of two fathers and leads the viewers to question such things as: What are the differences in comparison to the normal family unit of father-mother-child? What are the similarities? What actually defines a family? Where do we really stand when it comes to the acceptance of same-sex families?
