Sometimes, a hug is all what we need... Free Hugs is a 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.
