  • Created by Dan Hotter (Male Hugger) and Sara Sneath (Female Hugger). Both were active duty U.S. Marine Embassy Guards during the filming of this video.
    Filmed in Parque Carolina, Quito, Ecuador.
    Inspired by Juan Mann; the creator of the Free Hugs Campaign..
    Music is "All the Same" by Sick Puppies.
    _______________________________________
    Sometimes, a hug is all that we need. The sole mission of this worldwide free hugs campaign is to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives.
    In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign have become phenomenal.
    This campaign is a symbol of human hope. This campaign is a witness to the true spirit of humanity coming together in what can only be described as awe inspiring.
    In the Spirit of the free hugs campaign, PASS THIS TO A FRIEND and HUG A STRANGER!
    You do not need permission. This is the peoples movement, this is your movement. With nothing but your bare hands you can make THE difference.
    Imagine all the people.
