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.
The film's sets were designed by the art director Willi Herrmann.
