Eslanda and Paul Robeson’s advocacy of anti-imperialism and affiliation with communism resulted in them being blacklisted by the United States government. On a large-scale installation screen, filmmaker Steve McQueen presents the completed version of End Credits in a continuous loop. The audiovisual installation exposes thousands of digitized FBI files as they scroll up slowly on the large-scale screen over 12 hours and 54 minutes: file numbers, dates, registration codes, some heavily redacted or blacked out, as well as 67 hours 4 minutes and 43 seconds of asynchronous voice recordings that render the FBI informants’ reports audible.
