This comment on the movie is my explanation of its end; because things are not told. So I explain things which I don't relate, assuming you already watched it. So if you did not, please don't read ahead.
**************** BIG SPOILER AHEAD *************************
(it still is no more than an interpretation)
Two families have their dark secret: A Japanese mother died long ago. And an American baby kid.
The American couple tries so much to assure themselves that this death was not their fault that it makes me think that it was an accident which they could have avoided.
The Japanese father and daughter do not have the same story of the mother's death. But these stories have in common a bloody death and that the daughter is first on the scene. The father asked the girl if she wanted to talk to the cops. So she is the one to have troubles if the truth were to be known.
These are rich families from rich countries that killed accidentally a member. They don't have trouble with justice but their demons haunt them.
On the other hands you have 2 poor families from poor countries. Two kids in Marroco wound an American girl during a dumb teenage challenge. Consequences: A brother is shot; the father and remaining kid are to face a harsh justice. A neighbour is mistreated. Media freak out "Terrorism!". The good hearted Mexican family is caught for what they did: driving drunk are working in the states without a green card. The justice is harsh to them too.
To my opinion the movie is about justice and human rights. The characters are treated gently or roughly on the basis of their nationality.
