While I was randomly surfing on YouTube, came across this, cute video. It's a movie about this campaign that's goin' around Britain, I think? It's called Free Hugs Campaign, started in Sydney, Australia, by some dude called Juan Mann. This movement is a social movement where people randomly give free hugs. Yeah, just like that. At first, this campaign wasn't received well by the local authorities, and they banned Free Hugs from continuing. But, Mann was able to get a petition with 10000 signatures in it, asking the local authorities to allow this movement. the petition was passed, and this campaign is still goin' strong after 4 years since its introduction. With that comes the evolution of this campaign as it has already reached parts of the world, such as neighboring Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan and England.
Btw, the guy that looks like John Lennon is Juan Mann, I think. The following video is like, 2 years old? And, the soundtrack playing to it is "All The Same" by Sick Puppies
.
Hop[e] you guys enjoyed the short video. It certainly made me go, "Aw". Go hug someone!
