Ten Meter Tower
Ten Meter Tower (Hopptornet=diving tower) is a Swedish short-film by Maximilien van Aertrych and Axel Danielson. These two wanted to show how people, beset by doubts, behave.
We all watched movies featuring those doubters, but they were played by actors. The two film directors wanted to show real people with real doubts, real feelings in reality.
Therfore they decided to create an environment that needed no explanation: A jump from the ten meter tower.
They placed an online ad and get 67 people never jumped from a ten meter tower before, but willing to do that, whilst six cameras and several microphones captured their jump. The participants got 28 € ($) uncommitted expense allowance for their showing up on the 10 meter platform.
70 % of the participants jumped, but some because of the spectators at the pool edge, some because of the filming. These jumpers were the especially interesting ones.

Ten Meter Tower
Ten Meter Tower (Hopptornet=diving tower) is a Swedish short film by Maximilien van Aertrych and Axel Danielson. These two wanted to show how people behave in situations where they are beset by doubts. (note that if you want to keep the original phrasing, you should take out the commas that set off "beset by doubts", as this is a restrictive clause that identifies the people who are the subjects of the film).We have all watched movies featuring those with doubters, but they were played by actors. The two film directors wanted to show real people with real doubts; real feelings in reality. I wonder if you mean "fears" rather than "doubts". Fear is a much stronger emotion than doubt.
Therfore, they decided to create an environment that needed no explanation: a jump from the ten meter tower.
They placed an online ad and got 67 people who had never jumped from a ten meter tower before, but who were willing to do that, whilst six cameras and several microphones captured their jump. The participants got 28 € ($) uncommitted expense allowance for their showing up on the 10-meter platform.
70 % of the participants jumped: but some because of the spectators at the pool edge, and some because of the filming. These latter (meaning the ones who jumped because of the cameras) jumpers were the especially interesting ones.
