How about a taped excerpt from Survivor Man or Man Vs. World, both on the Discovery Channel. My middle school sons LOVE these series. Essentially a guy in the middle of nowhere left to survive for about five days who talks to the camera about the choices he has to make to survive. Grosses me out, more proof middle schoolers would like it, I guess.
