A short video about a Sydney local who sparked a global campaign, the Free Hugs Campaign. He is the founder of this movement for giving away an act of kindness for FREE! His name is Juan Mann and this is his story. Started out as an act of fun then made to a video by the Sick Puppies and finally influenced the whole world to join in on the random act of kindness. Even to this day, Juan still goes out every thursday at Pitt St Mall from 12 noon to give free hugs to people walking by. SO JOIN IN ON THE MOVEMENT, pick your spot, write "FREE HUGS" on a piece of cardboard and dedicate a little bit of your time to give another person a hug. EVERYONE NEEDS A HUG AT SOME POINT OF THEIR LIFE This video was made by Daniel Karjadi toward completion of requirements for a BA majoring in Media in the school of English Media and Performing Arts.
