The candidates’ journeys to the interview.

00:10 Second, a slender thirtysomething man with light-brown skin, shoulder-length hair and a long black beard. He’s blind, and walks along a residential street with an assistance dog on a harness.
00:19 Third, a white woman in her forties with light-blonde hair, wearing a coat and scarf. On a train platform, she interacts with a woman whose mouth is covered by a Covid mask.
