Aurora, a colossal polar bear puppet the size of a double decker bus, carries out a month long protest outside Shell’s South Bank headquarters in protest against Shell's drilling in the Arctic. During the month she has been joined by acclaimed British actor and screenwriter Emma Thompson, activists and puppeteers.
As the protest comes to an end, Emma Thompson rejoins the bear with Greenpeace UK Executive Director John Sauven to deliver a celebratory speech the day after the Anglo-Dutch oil major announced it was pulling out of Arctic oil drilling.
After speaking to the crowds, Emma helps volunteer puppeteers move Aurora, the double decker bus sized polar bear, from in front of Shell’s front door where she has been standing for the past month in protest at Shell’s Arctic oil drilling. Now Shell has announced its Arctic exit, the bear will be transported to Paris where the nations of the world will soon gather to negotiate a deal on climate change.
