Free Hugs!

The story behind the video:

One day, while Juan Mann was getting off an airplane he noticed all of the friends and families of travelers waiting to hug their loved ones. He thought it would be sad if someone didn't have someone waiting for them to give them a hug, so he started this project.

For over an hour he waited - then finally - the older lady in the video took him up on his offer. She told him earlier that day she had lost her best friend - her dog - and his hug had meant a lot.

Still later others started joining the project but local authorities tried to stop it. Juan was told he needed 10,000 signatures in order to continue - watch the video to see what happens.

To date this video has been seen over 67,000,0000 times; and Jaun has sparked a movement that has been repeated countless times all over the world.
