April 2007 We take the Free Hugs campaign all around
Scotland.
After discovering a version of the Free Hugs video that some
people did in my local city, I thought it might be fun to take
it all over Scotland. I filmed the guys in Aberdeen and we went
on a long day trip to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Perth. We witnessed
exactly what Juan Mann experienced, the police asked us to leave
but the public stood there and defended us.
The music was written especially for the video by me, James
Provan (GiR2007). Filmed and edited by me also.The main guy in
the video is John -

Free Hugs. In this place, there is love. In this place, there
are smiles and happiness.
To find this place, you need not money. You just need a little
courage. Stop. Look around and see your friends and family. And
share the love.

Free Hugs - Shibuya Tokyo -
another True Story
Uploaded to
YouTube 6th December 2006
Inspired by Sick Puppies "All the Same" video featuring Juan
Mann, people here in Japan have started the Free Hugs Campaign.
Some says it won't happen in Japan. But it did! This is a true
documentary video of Free Hugs at Shibuya, Tokyo.
Music "Tohmawari" supplied by courtesy of Katsufumi Takeuchi.
For those who care about why FREE HUGS on the sign board is
written in English, not Japanese, we wanted to communicate with
the original English-language words, and they ARE the message.
Plus, Free Hugs in Japanese is actually written on the other
side of the board.
Thanx. Hug & Love !!

Free Hugs Peru

We were so touch by the Juan Mann free hugs video, that we
decided to bring the campaign to Peru. It was an amazing
experience that we will never forget.
We are all brothers so we have to break the fear to hug each
other. You should try it, it΄s easier that it seems. Go for it!
Music: "Al The Same" - Sick Puppies
El video "Abrazos Gratis" de Juan Mann nos conmovio tanto, que
decidimos hacer lo mismo en Peru. Fue una experiencia
extraordinaria que nunca olvidaremos.
Todos somos hermanos, rompamos el miedo a abrazarnos unos a
otros. Pruebenlo, es mas facil de lo que parece. ‘Atrevanse!

Experience: Becoming homeless helped me find love
12th December 2009
"...While some people did give me abuse for being homeless, I
also saw great acts of kindness. One night, a car pulled up and
a man got out and distributed £20 notes. Another time, someone
came along with a huge tower of piping hot pizzas." Read the full story here:

The Love Police: How to Escape a TERROR STOP (1 of 2)
YouTube upload
3rd March 2010
The Love Police was doing the usual, enjoying free speech
in a corporate zone, and the Beefeaters (Royal Guardians)
of the Tower of London called the Police on us. Again.
This time, the Police knew to send more than one officer.
They sent an Inspector (rather senior), two Sargeants, and
five officers. 4 Police cars. Sirens.
This is our attempt to show you how to stop yourself
getting arrested under this RIDICULOUS and OVER-USED
Terror Act.
Do not consent.
No one rules if no one obeys.
Live Free. Die Free
