What if aliens wiped out the human race and took over Earth? What would they do with human artifacts? Fast forward to 3012 and listen in on a pair of aliens as they get a guided tour of the “Museum of Humans.” Actors: Bob Koherr, Heidi Swedberg, and Tracy McCubbin. Produced by Eric Molinsky. (This is a companion piece to follow Take Me To Your Leader, my piece about how Native Americans view alien invasion films like “Cowboys & Aliens.”)
