Humanity Unleashed (German: Die entfesselte Menschheit) is a 1920 German silent drama film directed by Joseph Delmont and starring Eugen Klöpfer, Paul Hartmann and Carl de Vogt. The film portrays a violent leftist attempt to seize power. However, its location shooting in the streets of Berlin coincided with the rightist Kapp Putsch.[1]
The film's sets were designed by the art director Willi Herrmann.
