Synopsis

Federal officer with the Department of Homeland Security discovers a national security breach related to the entry of 23 aliens from terrorist countries into the United States. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner, former head of the DEA Robert Bonner can't afford any more media scrutiny, since his incompetence was already exposed in the NASA 'Challenger' disaster. To avoid the scandal, the full might of the government is unleashed against Julia Davis, her family and witnesses. This retaliation reaches an unprecedented magnitude, including four unexplained deaths, Hollywood and the Mafia, false imprisonments and the use of Blackhawk helicopters and airplanes for warrantless surveillance. Amidst many shocking revelations, this documentary provides a new insight into the deaths of well-known Hollywood figures unwittingly dragged into this scandal. The truth is no longer a secret.

Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
gsellars-1 I can't improve upon Michael Smith's review except to say that if you'll check the ratings of this absolutely finest example of documentary work I've ever seen in my life, you'll see that the murderers and perpetrators of this travesty, who work for the Department of Homeland Security (aka Department of Perversion of Justice), show their unrelenting criminality by requesting their close associates (their felonious partners in crime), reach out to extend their dishonesty and corruption just a little bit further, by asking them to come here and unanimously vote this absolutely superb documentary a "1".Out of 104 IMDb User ratings, 79 gave it a "10", 8 gave it an "9", ONE gave it a "4", and 16 (evidently criminal employees and/or friends of the criminal DHS agents who tried to destroy Julia) gave it a "1" because they couldn't give it anything less!IMDb might investigate and dismiss these BOGUS ratings. Take note: there are no votes of 8,7,6,5,3 or 2. These scoundrels participated in the murders of four innocent people and still refuse to give up their vicious and evil persecution of Julia and BJ Davis with yet another attempt to undermine and deny the truth. All this was done to preserve the arrogant pride of Director Robert Bonner, who didn't want the nation to see the failure of the DHS to fail to process 23 men on July 4, 2004 (a day *marked* by Intelligence sources to be alert to an attempt to enter the U.S. from terrorist nations, obviously because he was concerned that it would be seen as his failure and he didn't want this scandal used as an opportunity to remind the nation of the Shuttle disaster and his name become a mocking song.So, destroy Julia Davis to hide the DHS failure to be the watchdogs they're supposed to be.Of course you understand, my remarks come from the the perspective that Director Bonner didn't really want the men in the country in the first place. If they were deliberately let in and deliberately not processed (because Mrs. Davis noted that the 23 should have already been processed when she showed up to work, though she never addressed this as an issue), then it's understandable why Robert Bonner wanted Julia Davis' credibility and reputation destroyed! She was a rogue agent actually trying to protect the nation!This woman was persecuted with 54(!) BOGUS INVESTIGATIONS! Administrative Judge Daniel Leach was the first judge to find the agency's culpability "of an egregious sort" and Judge Stephen Larson said he was "amazed at what the government is not denying in the Davis case," while Judge Virginia Phillips said, "the Court holds that a reasonable fact finder could find the extreme nature of the search and raid of the Davises' Yucca Valley home was 'not proper in the regular conduct of the proceedings'...""...The sum total of these facts is sufficient to allow a fact finder to infer a retaliatory or malicious motive in the execution of the search...""...Plaintiffs have therefore produced sufficient evidence to allow a reasonable fact finder to conclude the August 2005 search was an abuse of process." The Court dismissed all charges against the Davises and ordered the government to return all evidence from two warrantless searches of Julia Davis' residence and BJ Davis' office.Watch this video! You will be appalled, yet overjoyed to find that there were, out of dozens of EVIL government employees, a few and especially ONE honorable female judge who would not allow the criminals who worked for Robert Bonner to have their way.Had George Bush been an honorable man, he would have FIRED those criminals (starting with Robert Bonner) in a heartbeat and told the Justice Department to prefer charges against them all!The combined charges of all their many crimes would have left them to die in prison, if their sentences hadn't received an order for execution, which would have been just for the four people they murdered.The continued criminality of the DHS is more than evident by the promotions of Kaufer and Deal, men whose CONFESSED AND Proved CRIMES (in a court of Law) SHOULD HAVE PUT THEM IN PRISON FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES!It's shocking and so greatly disappointing that our government is so evil but this husband and wife team will be your heroes (if you've got a heart and any kind of scruples at all!)You'll find this documentary to be one of your greatest video exhilarations! It's hard to call it a "feel good movie" because of the constant, grievous crimes of the many government representatives but when right wins out in the end, even after four completely unjustifiable murders by evil men in government, it is so exciting to see the one who did right get vindicated in the end!Without question, 10 out of 10! Absolutely excellent, compelling and convincing. The details of the many crimes of Kaufer and Deal are lucid and simple in each documented and detailed explanation. There is no question why these criminal government employees did not appeal Roslyn Silver's rulings.These guys are so guilty they should have been fired before the case was settled and U.S. Marshals should have been waiting to put them in jail the moment the case was over.
kathy-55-433972 From the time the film started, the lies and layers of complicity unfolded. It broke my heart to watch a very personal account of grave injustice. Not only has there been incessant harassment, the sheer overkill and resources used to incriminate Julia Davis were grossly inappropriate. The government will stoop to the lowest depths of depravity in an effort to hide their lies. Lies that are painfully obvious, yet apparently what they were trying to hide came with a steep price. Unnecessary deaths, tragic brutality - for no just cause. I have been deeply moved by this film. It would be my hope that Americans will see the exact nature of what is going on in the states at the hand of their government, and prepare accordingly.
tspooky1013 I had the honor of attending the premiere of Top Priority - the story of Julia Davis and her husband BJ Davis endure the full wrath of the federal government - simply because Julia did her job. Most folks who have not been a whistleblower or had to deal with government wrongdoing have a hard time accepting the concept of U.S. government wrongdoing against its own citizens - but it happened here in a severe case. Julia was targeted by the senior leadership of Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) simply for following official procedures given her by her leadership and notifying the DC Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) of a breach of security at our southwest border...for this act she was persecuted - she and her husband BJ charged with false felony charges - endured a raid on their residence which resulted in the death of Julia's father - and because of the government's desperation, federal officers likely had a role in the death of BJ and Julia's friend - Brittney Murphy...Until it happens to you (and I'm speaking from experience here - I've been thru the grinder of the Federal Government machine) it is hard to believe officers who take the Oath of Office can behave in illegal and unconstitutional ways - but they do - and this documentary exposes their illegal acts - often in their own words...I honestly wonder how they sleep at night...I HIGHLY recommend you see Top Priority when it hit general or limited release - it is not only shocking due to the facts, it is a well made movie that grabs the viewer (and - no - I am NOT just saying this because BJ and Julia are friends) - this is an outstanding movie - one that exceeds every other modern documentary I've seen...and indicates that we are only steps away from "Three Days of the Condor" - if they can do this to the Davis' there is nothing holding back these government officials, with the new federal authorities, to engage in the next step of such wrongdoing: targeting for death of citizens they deem 'dangerous'.One last note - we should all be grateful for Julia and BJ - for having had the courage to endure the painful turn of events where the government of our nation not only turned its back on them - it did everything it could to destroy them - and still, they have been able to tell their story - to expose the wrongdoing of the federal bureaucratic for what it is...they are true patriots, and I am proud to call them friends.
Alan Premel BY: Alan Premel, the Clandestine Comic I had the pleasure to review the documentary 'Top Priority, the Terror Within' last Wednesday at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, home of the Academy Awards (Oscars). The retaliatory undertones ring loud and clear in Top Priority - Silence, Discredit and Destroy. After watching this well written and equally well directed docu-drama you will agree that no one understands the misfortune of being silenced, discredited and destroyed as well as Julia Davis.Directed by rising star Asif Akbar, Top Priority reserves no punches as it bravely tells the unbelievable real-life story of National Security Whistleblower Julia Davis who once served our country as a Customs and Border Patrol agent under the guise of the Department of Homeland Security. Davis' reward for drawing attention and shedding light on a real-life breach of national security was to be arrested, discredited and branded a domestic terrorist by DHS.They say real life is stranger than fiction and if that mantra holds true than you will be left saying "You cannot make this stuff up", as what seems so wildly unbelievable, far-fetched and exaggerated is shown and proved to be a reality. The amount of government wrongdoing, oppression and discrediting will leave you shocked and dismayed. Such brutal law enforcement tactics and retaliation would have been expected from a 1930's pre-FBI and Prohibition era law enforcement and not the system of checks and balances and oversight we have 2012. There is no shortage of intrigue in Top Priority, when the plot thickens a young Hollywood star is dead, Julia Davis is the target of 56 unlawful investigations and there are more suspicious and untimely deaths. By the time you would imagine the story is ending the mafia gets involved and the story, again, bravely charges on. At every twist and turn during the feature you will find yourself shaking your head in dismay at the overwhelming evidence presented by first hand audio and video interviews.The highlight comes when government officials lie on tape about actions, orders and their knowledge of wrongdoing presented and exposed. At this turning point, the audience, now in Julia Davis' corner all collectively jeered and laughed as official government documents are shown side by side blatantly showing false testimony. It's shock and awe at its best and it gives an outsider a glimpse into how lethal the case was. Director Asif Akbar and legendary Hollywood stuntman BJ Davis, husband of Julia Davis, were both masterful in the presentation and execution of this highly controversial case. Top Priority is a blitzkrieg of truth and vindication that continuously pummels and humiliates the DHS for 95 minutes.As the screen fades to black, the pants of DHS are squarely around their ankles. The Davis' leaving them in a compromising position with zero wiggle room to defend themselves. Just as the ending credits start to roll my friend on my left says "Oh my God!" and my cousin on my right exclaims, "Wow!" This was followed by an eruption of thunderous applause and a standing ovation. Top Priority accomplishes what every movie strives to do by stirring the emotions of each viewer. You leave Top Priority with an overwhelming and profound sense of emotion that is hard to explain. On one side of the token you feel the fear of the actions which were inflicted on someone in real life. While on the other side, you have a deep sense of sadness for those who died suddenly and unexpectedly from the governments mishandling of the case.In the end, you are presented with the saddest fact of all. Throughout everything Julia was subjected to, an arrest warrant was never issued for Julia. The laundry list of crimes and violations presented were not done by a whistleblower but were done at the hands of a government agency whose sole purpose is to protect each and every one of us.Top Priority was the first documentary ever allowed to premiere at the academy for its opening debut and it is fitting because if the ballots went out today, Top Priority would be bringing home an Oscar for Best Documentary. My only real advice for watching 'Top Priority, the Terror Within' is to bring a pillow because your back will hurt from sitting at the edge of your seat! I give 'Top Priority, the Terror Within' 9.5 out of 10 popcorns.
