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". http://sickpuppies.net ------------------------------------------------- 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. ------------------------------------------------

We take the Free Hugs campaign all around Scotland. After discovering a version of the Free Hugs video that some people did in my local city, I thought it might be fun to take it all over Scotland. I filmed the guys in Aberdeen and we went on a long day trip to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Perth. We witnessed exactly what Juan Mann experienced, the police asked us to leave but the public stood there and defended us. The music was written especially for the video by me, James Provan (GiR2007). Filmed and edited by me also. The main guy in the video is John - http://www.youtube.com/user/j1j8 Visit the Bebo page http://FreeHugsScotland.bebo.com

after 2 months of hugging in tel aviv we're starting to tour the country. we hugged mixed Muslim-Jewish populations in jaffa and we were accepted warmly although people warned us and even Arab friends thought it'll be a tough crowd. i haven't seen free hugs in any Arab country yet and i encourage the people who think it won't work there to get inspiration from this video. music by Egyptian singer, Hakim.

freehugs, It's a way to make people smile! support for the free hugs campaign! フリーハグは見知らぬ人ともハグするけれど、 まずはあなたの周りの大切な人から。

In the great city of brotherly love, would the "free hugs" of three women be welcomed with arms wide open or avoided like the plague? See this article for more details on the experiment: http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/15840607.htm

FREE HUGS in Tel Aviv is still on. In the past two years, every Tuesday's evening at Rabbin's square, we're still hugging. Everyone is invited to come and get a hug too. For more details - contact shai.t1.rose@gmail.com. You also might wanna check our 2nd Video, from the hugs at the jewish-arabic city of Jaffa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRyA3CXIk4Y Our Free Hugs campaign was inspired by Juan Mann's video. We had no secret agenda - we just wanted to go out there and hug some people, believing that it will make all of us feel a lot better, and make the world a little nicer. We hope you'll enjoy the clip, forward it , and go hug your loved ones. The soundtrack we chose for the clip is in hebrew and it's called "Someone to Run With". The singer's name is Daniel Salomon. It's from a soundtrack of a new israeli movie that goes by the same name. אנשים יקרים, החיבוקים-בחינם ברחוב ממשיכים לקרות, כבר תיכף שנתיים, כל שבוע בשלישי בערב בכיכר רבין. כולם מוזמנים לבוא לקבל או לתת חיבוק. לעוד פרטים צרו קשר - shai.t1.rose@gmail.com. או שתקפצו לבלוג החבקנים: http://blog.tapuz.co.il/freehugs השיר ברקע נקרא "מישהו לרוץ איתו", בביצוע דניאל סלומון. ועזבו אתכם משטויות כאלה ואחרות. לכו לחבק מישהו.

Abrazos gratis en Malaga - Proyecto apoyado por el Instituto Las Viñas Mollina a través del coordinador TIC del centro. Correo contacto: angeloposicion@yahoo.es - Tan simple como un abrazo. Abrazadores: Juan Carlos, Rocio y Yamila. Coordinador y creador del video: Angel Rueda Gracias a todos por colaborar, no olvidaremos nunca ese día. Soy profesor de un instituto en Málaga. El pasado día 22 de diciembre me lancé a calle junto con 3 alumnos con el propósito de llevar a cabo y apoyar el proyecto "ABRAZO GRATIS".(Iniciativa de Juan Mann, Musica: Sick Puppies - All The Same) Sin duda una actividad preciosa e inolvidable, donde un simple cartel con la frase "Abrazo gratis" hizo posible que todas las personas que paseaban aquella mañana pusieran un granito de arena colaborando al proyecto con un abrazo. El resultado fue... maravilloso (Luchemos por una educación sin violencia)

We were so touch by the Juan Mann free hugs video, that we decided to bring the campaign to Peru. It was an amazing experience that we will never forget. We are all brothers so we have to break the fear to hug each other. You should try it, it´s easier that it seems. Go for it! Music: "Al The Same" - Sick Puppies El video "Abrazos Gratis" de Juan Mann nos conmovio tanto, que decidimos hacer lo mismo en Peru. Fue una experiencia extraordinaria que nunca olvidaremos. Todos somos hermanos, rompamos el miedo a abrazarnos unos a otros. Pruebenlo, es mas facil de lo que parece. ¡Atrevanse!

Inspired by Sick Puppies "All the Same" video featuring Juan Mann, people here in Japan have started the Free Hugs Campaign. Some says it won't happen in Japan. But it did! This is a true documentary video of Free Hugs at Shibuya, Tokyo. Music "Tohmawari" supplied by courtesy of Katsufumi Takeuchi. For those who care about why FREE HUGS on the sign board is written in English, not Japanese, we wanted to communicate with the original English-language words, and they ARE the message. Plus, Free Hugs in Japanese is actually written on the other side of the board. Thanx. Hug & Love !!

We made this Greek version of the "Free hugs" project, for use in a course at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. I only made the editing-not the girl that gives hugs (that's Margaret)! *** Song Used: Konstantinos Bhta - "Two" ("2" OST) *** Nationalist comments are not accepted. I will delete them and block the author. *** Check the global hug: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek2ZD2F8D8c *** Voice translation: He's alone / She's alone / Afraid / Light / Pain / Silence /Hug / I'm leaving / Do you love me? / Scars / Stranger / Darkness / Tomorrow People today are rarely lonely. From morning until night they have people around; social activities, friends, job. Nevertheless, people today feel more lonely than ever. Human relations become more complex. Isolation. People today need a hug.
