Amy Goodman launched her new book Breaking The Sound Barrier at an event co-hosted by community radio stations CJSF, Co-op Radio and CiTR in Vancouver, B.C. last night. Despite being detained by Canadian border services delaying her book launch by over an hour Amy Goodman delivered an impassioned lecture to a standing room only audience.

Goodman's 90-minute lecture touched on topics including the U.S. health care debate, the recent death of her mother, her arrest at the Republican National Convention, the importance of independent media, the upcoming summit in Copenhagen and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In this excerpt from her lecture, Amy Goodman discusses her detention at the Canadian border, Kiefer Sutherland and the American series 24, the grandfather of Canadian health care and the U.S. health care debates.

The audio of Goodman's complete lecture [6] is now featured in the book lounge.
