Zander (14) is born blind, and his big dream is to become a radio host. It is seen clearly when he is doing his weekly podcast, Den Blinde Vinkel (The Blind Spot).
Zander got signed up for DJ lessons in the after school classes, and he had an amazing evening. Therefore it hit hard, when the message the following day was that it too big a handful for the after school classes to have Zander in the class because of his disability.
