US embassy celebrates 247th anniversary of US independence

The US Embassy in Amman celebrated Monday the 247th anniversary of the independence of the US. The event emphasised the U.S.-Jordan bilateral relationship and highlighted the deep cultural ties between the two countries, according to a US embassy statement. In celebration of American movies that have been filmed in Jordan, the programme showcased Hollywood and its impact on American culture. “Film does not just sell tickets, but it also captures our imagination. It brings people closer. From the way movies make us feel, to the stories they convey, they have become more than entertainment, they are a bedrock and mainstay of American culture, and culture around the world,” said U.S. Ambassador Henry Wooster.
