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". 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.

This appears on the very surface, to the untrained eye, silly. Most people would tell you it's a waste of time, maybe time that could be spent making money or writing your own eulogy etc. The young kids didn't surprise me, they are affectionate by nature, like we all were before we let it get beaten out of us. The old people were reserved at first, wondering why he'd want to hug them. Then they realized they were long overdue. Everyone needs to be in someones arms. It's like food or oxygen.

I'm really not a crier, but for some reason whenever I watch this video I end up balling. I live 6 hours away from my friends and family and I never appreciated how much a hug can mean until now, when there's no one around do give one. This video is simply beautiful
