Free Hugs Campaign



This man holds a “free hugs” sign and walked in the middle of the street. He was wearing a trouser and a coat.  For a man, his hair is too long. He also has a thick mustache and beard. It’s makes people didn't want to get closer to him. People there only looked at him, sometimes they smile and took his picture. At first, I think the man with the sign in his hand was so frustrated and little bit hopeless. We can see it from the black and white screen at the beginning. People were passing by, but this man never stop to try, whenever no one respect to him.
When he was being careless, an old woman approached him and asked about what he did. The man spontaneously kneeling and offering a hug with his stretched out arms. The old woman immediately greeted with a hug. The grandmother successfully attracts the attention of other people to this man. And then, so many people want to cuddle with this man, even a guy with a serious face did the same.
Because of this man, the street became a little bit crowded. Because, everybody stopped for a while to see this campaign. Then, the policeman came and banned this campaign directly. Because the policeman thought that the campaign disturbed another pedestrian at that place. The man explained it patiently to the policeman. He never gave up and continued his campaign with different way. He offered a hug to everybody and asked that participants to give their signature as the petition of this campaign. People became more respect to this man and helped this man with their pleasure. Unbelievable, he got 10,000 signatures from the participants.
At the end of the video, everybody looked very happy. They embraced to each other, include the policeman. The policeman can’t do anything, because this campaign already supported by 10,000 people and it’s not such kind of criminalization.
I think, the main point of this video is how we respect each other and love our environment. Although it looks very simple, actually hugs have many benefits, both for health or relationship between human beings. Just because a hug, people in the video became more respect to each other. Caring is the first step of creating peace and happiness. So, we have to reduce our individual attitude to produce more smiles in this world.
