And that happens after you reload the game?

After you restart checkpoint (in the game menu).

Questions: (this is a console port.)
Is your FPS under 55?
Resolution at 1080 or max 1440?

Ok, so now others are claiming the same but do not give and answer to the first question since there IS a problem with doing the Grow Operation DLC in the wrong order.

When you are given the three missions that make up Concerned Citizens, the trick is to do The Proverbial Canary first, before doing anything else that creates a checkpoint / save. The opening cutscene will work fine if you do it this way; it's doing anything else and only then trying to start The Proverbial Canary that causes the endless load sequence.

Now, if you're no longer able to do The Proverbial Canary first, you shoud leave Sinclair Parish and wait for the game to auto-save.
If you then try to start The Proverbial Canary again and the endless load sequence comes up, you can simply close the game, restart and reload the checkpoint and the mission will start fine.

Note that in any case you will still get an(other) endless load screen after having saved Irma and returning to speak with Remus, but this one can be simply solved by closing the game, restarting and reloading.

It could also be that your game files or save file is corrupt.
Game files can be fixed by Verifing the game files in Steam.

The save file can be bypassed by copying the second newest save file to the first newest save file.
1. Go to: C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\2K Games\Mafia III\Data\#\gamesaves\default\aslot
2. Check the dates created of all 3 saves (0, 1 and 2) and delete the newest one (back it up first just in case)
3. Copy + Paste the 2nd newest save game and rename that copy, so that you have save0, save1 and save2 once again
4. Resume playing.
