Free Hugs Roam 2008 (Event Over)

This is the 1st annual Free Hugs Roam. We will give free hugs to anyone who wants one & roam about the city. "Sometimes, a hug is all that we need."

In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal.

As this symbol of human hope spread accross the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs campaign BANNED. What we then witness is the true spirit of humanity come together in what can only be described as awe inspiring.

Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, A man whos sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives.
