El-Yateem stars in documentary film about City Council campaign
A former Bay Ridge church pastor who came close to making history when he ran for a seat on the City Council last year is the subject of a new award-winning documentary film that will be shown in a special presentation at the Alpine Theater this weekend.
The Rev. Khader El-Yateem, 50, moved from Bay Ridge to Florida several months ago but is expected to return to Brooklyn to attend a screening of “FATHER K,” a documentary chronicling his 2017 City Council run.
Directed by Judd Ehrlich, the 32-minute documentary looks at El-Yateem’s Council campaign as well as his continuing influence on Bay Ridge politics.
