Nocna zmiana is a 1995 Polish documentary film about the events of the night 4 June 1992 when a coalition of Polish parliamentary forces voted no confidence in Olszewski's government, presenting is as a sort of coup. It was directed by Michał Balcerzak. The documentary revolves around the recording of an open meeting of Donald Tusk, Lech Walesa, and Waldemar Pawlak.
