The Dark World (Turkish: Karanlık Dünya), also known as Aşık Veysel'ın Hayatı, is a 1953 Turkish biographical drama film directed by Metin Erksan, and written by Bedri Rahmi Eyuboglu. It stars Âşık Veysel, Ayfer Feray, and Kemal Öz.

Erksan's debut film, it is often described as being "a realistic account of the life of the bard Veysel, shot in his native village". The film was censored because of the showing of the meagre growth of crops in Anatolia.[1]
