Special thanks to Sick Puppies, for the music:
News: We would like to thank and hug every one of you for making this video Youtube video of the year!
Sometimes, a hug is all that we need. Free Hugs is the real life controversial story of Juan Mann, a man whose sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger put a smile on their face.
In this age of social-disconnection most all of us lack that simple human touch from another, the effects of the Free Hugs Campaign are now felt around the globe.
As this simple gesture of kindness and hope spread across the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs Campaign BANNED. What we then witnessed was the true spirit of humanity as people came together in what can only be described as something awe inspiring.
In the spirit of the Free Hugs Campaign please pass this video to a friend and HUG a stranger! After all, you CAN make a difference.
Music by Sick Puppies. Their album was release on April 3rd and is titled “Dressed Up As Life”.
The response to this video has been nothing short of overwhelming and touching. Hugs to every single one of you who messaged. There has been thousands of emails from all over the world from people seeking to participate in the Free Hugs Campaign and asking for permission. You don’t need permission. This is the people’s movement, this is *your* movement. With nothing but your bare hands you CAN make a difference.

Dont take these worlds so “straight” – I dont know how to say this in english ;). Im not saying you’ve got to stand out there and give a hug everyone you see.
Try not to hurt anyone – that will be good beginning :) I know we cant do anything else sometimes but at least we can try. There are a lot of people who’d like to use You – so you’ve got to be careful – you have to find you’re own gold edge in this messed up world

admittedly seeing this video makes me tear up a bit :) even after so many years has passed since i have seen it again until now. makes you realise that there is still some good left in todays cruel society. truely beautiful (: peace and love from Melbourne mate. may the Free Hugs campaign live on for an age.
mati2580 says
Dont wait for people like Juan and begin do something good and smile a lot :) – it’s sounds funny but when we see people smiling we start to smile too. It doesnt cost anything.
Made me laugh what krazy4games1 wrote – who cares what do you like or dont, the most important is, you feel good and dont hurt anyone. Not only bad person would dislike this video ;) – different taste, different mood today, different people around me, there are a lot of reasons.

Where i come from {Scotland} the only folk that do this free hug bullshit, are EmoFags, i like the concept and respect this guy for what he’s doing, so dont count me as a hater, im just pointing out that This ‘cool’ thing has been thieved by EmoFags therefore is now a horrible fad. :)
