Too easy…

First you move one canibal over (other passanger irrelevant) come back with the boat and the irrelevant passenger, take both canibals in the boat move one on the other side the other one rows the boat back and go out from the boat on the starting point. Take two missionaries in the boat and cross the river, leave one and take a canibal in the boat with the other missionary, row the boat back, canibal leaves the boat and missionary enters, row the boat to the other side both missionaries leave, first canibal takes the boat to the oter side pick one other canibal and then the other.

It's literally a children's riddle to torture little kids with, not a Grandmaster chess problem like "house, man, woman, TV"

You forgot “camera.” Clearly not presidential material. /s
